Not as far as I know. However, I convert PostScript to PBM all the time.
The way I do it is to run NeWS, display the PostScript with psview, do a
screen dump, convert that to PBM, and then cut/crop it down to size.
If you have any way of displaying PostScript on a screen, you can do
something similar. If all you have is a Laserwriter... well, it's possible
in theory to upload the rendered bitmap from the Laserwriter...
