This might not help you, but there is a PostScript indent program included
in Sun's OpenWindows.  It's called "psindent".  They don't seem to include
the source for it, though.

From the man page, it has quite a few options!

NAME
     psindent - format POSTSCRIPT language or NeWS source

SYNOPSIS
     psindent   [   [ -ba | +ba ]   [ -bb | +bb ]   [ -bs | +bs ]
     [ -cba | +cba ]        [ -cbb | +cbb ]       [ -cea | +cea ]
     [ -ceb | +ceb ] [ -da | +da ] [ -db | +db ]  [ -dba | +dba ]
     [ -dbb | +dbb ]        [ -dea | +dea ]       [ -deb | +deb ]
     [ -ea | +ea ] [ -eb | +eb ] [ -gra | +gra ]  [ -grb | +grb ]
     [ -gsa | +gsa ]  [ -gsb | +gsb ] [ -ia | +ia ] [ -ib | +ib ]
     [ -ib | +ib ]        [ -lba | +lba ]         [ -lbb | +lbb ]
     [ -lca | +lca ]        [ -lcb | +lcb ]       [ -rba | +rba ]
     [ -rbb | +rbb ] [ -rca | +rca ] [ -rcb | +rcb ] ]  [  input-
     file ... ]

Pretty wild, eh?
