Back from the dead with a new question that never occurred to me... is adding the spindle operation and speed control an option if using the c-10 board and mach3. As a reminder for this discussion I'm talking about a PM-30...Im sure it cant be as easy as using some of the inputs off of the board, no way I would be that lucky.

The C10 can not control a VFD. However, you could use step/direction signals to control a stepper or servo as a spindle motor.
For example, for your X wire your driver to pins 2, COM, and 3, Y to pins 4, COM, and 5, Z to pins 6, COM, and 7, and spindle to pins 8, COM, and 9.
