My questions:
1. Is there a troff to postcript conversion utility present in a stock
2.11 system (or even patch level 4xx system)?
Troff from that era was designed to drive the C/A/T phototypesetter.
There were tools that converted from C/A/T to postscript but they
were mostly commercial IIRC.
2. Is there a way to build postscript directly on the system?
Likely not.
3. Is there an alternative modern way to get to ps or pdf output from
the nroff/troff that 2.11 has?
I would recommend tar-ing up the doc and macros, moving them to Linux
or other modern system, and using groff -C to create postscript/pdf.
That really will be the fastest way.
