Talking about signal termination is like opening a can of worms. This is a HUGE subject that is difficult to summarize in just a couple hundred words. Therefore, I won't. I am going to leave a huge amount of stuff out of this answer. But I will also give you a big warning: There is much misinformation about terminating resistors on the net. In fact, I would say that most of what's found on the net is wrong or misleading. Some day I'll write up something big and post it to my blog, but not today.
The first thing to note is that the resistor value to use for your termination must be related to your trace impedance. Most of the time the resistor value is the same as your trace impedance. If you don't know what the trace impedance is then you should figure it out. There are many online impedance calculators available. A Google search will bring up dozens more.
Most PCB traces have an impedance from 40 to 120 ohms, which is why you found that a 1k termination resistor did almost nothing and a 100-ish ohm resistor was much better.
There are many types of termination, but we can roughly put them into two categories: Source and End termination. Source termination is at the driver, end termination is at the far end. Within each category, there are many types of termination. Each type is best for different uses, with no one type good for everything.
Your termination, a single resistor to ground at the far end, is actually not a very good. In fact, it's wrong. People do it, but it isn't ideal. Ideally that resistor would go to a different power rail at half of your power rail. So if the I/O voltage is 3.3v then that resistor will not go to GND, but another power rail at half of 3.3v (a.k.a. 1.65v). The voltage regulator for this rail has to be special because it needs to source AND sink current, where most regulators only source current. Regulators that work for this use will mention something about termination in the first page of the datasheet.
The big problem with most end-termination is that they consume lots of current. There is a reason for this, but I won't go into it. For low-current use we must look at source termination. The easiest and most common form of source termination is a simple series resistor at the output of the driver. The value of this resistor is the same as the trace impedance.
Source termination works differently than end termination, but the net effect is the same. It works by controlling signal reflections, not preventing the reflections in the first place. Because of this, it only works if a driver output is feeding a single load. If there are multiple loads then something else should be done (like using end termination or multiple source termination resistors). The huge benefit of source termination is that it does not load down your driver like end termination does.
I said before that your series resistor for source termination must be located at the driver, and it must have the same value as your trace impedance. That was an oversimplification. There is one important detail to know about this. Most drivers have some resistance on it's output. That resistance is usually in the 10-30 ohm range. The sum of the output resistance and your resistor must equal your trace impedance. Let's say that your trace is 50 ohms, and your driver has 20 ohms. In this case your resistor would be 30 ohms since 30+20=50. If the datasheets do not say what the output impedance/resistance of the driver is then you can assume it to be 20 ohms-- then look at the signals on the PCB and see if it needs to be adjusted.
Another important thing: when you look at these signals on an o-scope you MUST probe at the receiver. Probing anywhere else will likely give you a distorted waveform and trick you into thinking that things are worse than they really are. Also, make sure that your ground clip is as short as possible.
Conclusion: Switch to source termination with a 33 to 50 ohm resistor and you should be fine. The usual caveats apply.
There is no one to one relationship between rise time and bandwidth. A slew rate limiter is a non-linear filter, so can't directly be characterized as a low pass filter with some obvious rolloff frequency. Think of it in the time domain, and you can see that a slew rate limit effects signals proportional to amplitude. A 5 Vpp signal limited to 5 V/µs can't have a period shorter than 2 µs, at which point it degenerates to a 500 kHz triangle wave. However, if the amplitude only needed to be 1 Vpp, then the limit is a 2.5 MHz triangle wave. Since the concept of bandwidth get less clear when a non-linear filter is envolved, you can at best talk about it approximately.
Your answer can also vary greatly depending on what exactly "rise time" is. This is a term that should never be used without some qualification. Even a simple R-C filter has ambiguous rise time. Its step response is a exponential with no place being a clear "end". It's rise time is therefore infinite. Without a threshold of how close to the end you need to be to considered to have risen, the term "rise time" is meaningless. This is why you need to either talk about rise time to a specific fraction of the final value, or slew rate.
The equation you site is therefore just plain wrong, at least without a set of qualifications. Perhaps those are found on the page you got it from, but quoting it out of contect makes it wrong. Your question is unaswerable in its current form.
Added:
You now say the real issue is limiting high frequencies from sharp edges so that parts of the signal don't get into the frequency range where your wire becomes a transmission line. This has little directly to do with rise time. Since the real issue is frequency content, deal with that directly. The simplest way is probably a R-C low pass filter. Set it to roll off above the highest frequency of interest in the signal, and well below the frequency at which your system can no longer be considered lumped. If there is no frequency space between these, then you can't what you want. In that case you need to use a lower bandwidth signal, a shorter wire, or deal with the transmission line aspects of the wire.
In your case, you say the highest frequency of interest is 30 MHz, so adjust the filter to that or a little higher, let's say 50 MHz since that will leave your desired signal pretty much intact. The wavelength of 50 MHz is 6 meters in free space. You didn't say what impedence your transmission line is, but let's figure propagation will be half the speed of light, which leaves 3 meter wavelength on the wire. To be pretty safe just ignoring transmission line issues, you want the wire to be 1/10 wavelength or less, which is 300 mm or about a foot. So if the wire is a foot or less in length, then you can add a simple R-C filter at 50 MHz and forget about it.
Transmission line effects don't just suddenly appear at some magic wavelength relative to the wire length, so how long is too long is a gray area. Up to 1/4 wavelength can often be short enough. If it is "long", then the best thing is to use a impedence controlled driver and a terminator at the other end. However, that is cumbersome and also attenuates the signal by half. You either deal with the lower amplitude at the receiver, or boost it at the transmitter before it gets divided by the driving impedence and the transmission line characteristic impedence.
A simpler solution that may take some experimental tweaking, is to simply put a small resistor in series with the driver and be done with it. That will form a low pass filter with the capacitance of the cable and whatever other stray capacitance is around. It's not as predictable as a deliberate R-C, but much simpler and often good enough.

2 MHz gives a 500 ns bit period. 1 foot foot of ribbon cable would be about 1.5 ns (or less) propagation delay or 3 ns round trip.
Adding termination resistors will increase power consumption, and the CMOS-style chip you're using isn't really designed to work with a terminated line.
A cleaner solution is to slow down your rise and fall times. You could easily transport 2 MHz signals with 50 ns rise and fall times. One way to get slower edge times is to use a different chip than the "ultra-high speed" part you chose. Another would be add a series resistor at the driver outputs. This resistor doesn't have to exactly match the transmission line characteristic impedance, just slow the edges when combined with the line's capacitance. As an added benefit, if someone comes along later and wants to use your circuit with a shorter ribbon cable (and less capacitance), the loss from the series resistor will still help to kill any ringing quickly so its died down by the time (250 ns later) that your receiver samples the signal.
