You need to get GhostScript, an FSF program. You can ftp it from
src.doc.ac.ic.uk in directory /0-Most-Packages/mac/sumex/Graphic/Utility
as mac-ghostscript-252b3.hqx. It is approx 2.3 Mb (this includes fonts,
but there is a copy without fonts, which is called
mac-ghostscript-252b3-no-fonts.hqx which is only 712 Kb.
