Sounds obvious, doesn't it?

No, it really doesn't seem particularly annoying:
(require 'cl)
(letf (((frame-parameter <foo>) 'newvalue)) <blabla>)
the same holds for symbol properties, process properties, window
parameters, terminal parameters, ...

BTW, since frame-parameters have been very rarely used and you seem to
use them "extensively", I'm curious: what do you use them for
(i.e. what kind of data do you keep there, and why do you need to
let-(re)bind it)?
