Yes, I think there is.  Look at
	/sys/lib/tmac/tmac.pictures
It has macros to include postscript into troff documents (that
must produce postscript too).  You can call them between .PS
and .PE, but you'll probably have to do some experimentation
to get the result you want.  The .BP and .EP macros can produce
some curious side effects.
