Generally, you don't BCP into PK/FK tables but into temporary tables (not
#temp) that are used as a buffer between the imported and live data. Once
the data is uploaded, run a SP that posts the data to the PK/FK related
tables using the data imported into the temporary tables. These will have
error routines to deal with the constraint issues.
