before you start drawing, do this:

8.5 72 mul 0 translate
-1 1 scale

you should be able to edit your ps file and stick it in after the header
comments.

The effect is to multiply all the X coords by negative 1, and leave the
y coords alone, and the translate moves the origin over to the other
side of the page.  If you use some strange page size, you should use it's
width in points instead of 8.5 72 mul.

I just tested this out on the output from dvips, and it works fine.
