I wouldn't worry to much about having a no-frames statement, but some search engines don't really like frames, but they will read the info you have in your no frames statement. Make a good paragraph about your site using keywords etc, just like you would on the main page.

The percentage of people using a non-frames browser is minimal. There are a few, but in my mind, backwards compatability needs to end somewhere. The web grows and evolves quickly and there comes a point where old technologies just are not worth supporting. I think no-frames browsers fall into that category. I don't use frames, but I wouldn't waste my time or energy designing a no-frames version of the site if I did.

A simple:

<NOFRAMES>
This site uses frames. Join the 20th century before it's over and get a better browser.
</NOFRAMES>
section should cover it

If the .00001% of the people that see that message complain, that might account for 1 piece of hate mail a month.
