The EPSF specification is a special case of the Document Structuring
Conventions, which is stated in the spec.  The Document Structuring
Conventions (as of Version 2.1, at least) already contain the
%%PageBoundingBox comment (it's on page 22 in my copy, under "Page
Comments").  It is used in exactly the manner you suggest.  Note that
there is also a %%PageTrailer comment and a few others that may be
relevant.  There is also a %%PageFonts comment for providing the font
list on a given page.

All of the comments provided by Document Structuring Conventions are
valid (and encouraged, where appropriate) within an EPSF file.
