i think i finally dialled it. see the attach comparison.
the changes are:
i'm using p9article.cls, modified:
changed:
\ProvidesClass{article} -> \ProvidesClass{p9article}
removed "date" from the maketitle definition
the rest is in the .tex file:
\documentclass[11pt]{p9article}
\textheight 230mm
\textwidth 150mm
\topmargin -15mm
\oddsidemargin 0mm
\evensidemargin 0mm
\setlength\parindent{0pt} % no indentation on any paragraph start
\setlength\parskip{0.25\baselineskip} % paragraphs are close
\renewcommand\baselinestretch{0.8} % lines are closer
together in auth.ps
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} % should be similar font to auth.ps
% the following two commands bring \section and \subsection closer to the text
% you may have to add a line for \subsubsection if you have such
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@} {3pt} {1pt}
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\renewcommand\subsection{\@startsection {subsection}{1}{\z@} {3pt}
{1pt} {\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}}
\makeatother
% the title text needs to match auth.ps, so these changes are required
\begin{document}
\title{\Large\textbf{Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow}}
\author{\large
\begin{tabular}{c}
\textsl{Andrey Mirtchovski}\\
\textsl{Unidentified Location}\\
\texttt{andrey@nothere.bg}\\
\end{tabular}
}
% no page numbers in title
\maketitle\thispagestyle{empty}
% in fact, no page numbers anywhere
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{abstract}
\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{0.25\baselineskip}
The mating habits of insects are quite different from those of large mammals.
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}

margins don't seem to match up (i used acme.ps). e.g. this matches
the the paper better.
\topmargin -15mm
will there be printed material? a4 or letter size?

i tried with -15 and the text is higher (on both plan9 and osx'
preview). please note that acme.ps is formatted differently than
auth.ps (auth.ps being the paper we were supposed to match): for
example there is paragraph indentation and the top and bottom margins
are larger than auth.ps.
to add further to the confusion, /sys/doc/auth.ps differs visually
from the one that was given as a benchmark (no numbering in the second
one, for example)

ok, for you, -12 ("we're supposed to haggle")
actually, that matches it pretty close.
