Maarten,
I want to report the regression equation in my manuscript so the reader can plug in their independent variable values and get the correct estimate. I thought that calculating the difference between the _fracpred_ estimated values and the values estimated using the coefficients from the _fracpoly_ output would be the fastest way to find the "real" constant for reporting purposes. Is there a better (i.e. easier) way? Am I misunderstanding the process?

You can access the parameter estimates using _b[varname],
but I don't understand why you would want to do this.
Isn't it much easier to just read the manual entry for
-fracpoly-? This extensively documents how the variables
are transformed.
