I don't think so, dvi2ps do not completely conform with the PS structure
convention, at least so can't ghostscript make out where pages ends and begins.
If you have a printer that does print on both sides, and have a good 
postscript interpreter, then there is a PS command called duplex, you may 
try to do a \special{duplex} in the begining of the tex file, or modify
dvi2ps or dvips prolog file directly. It should also be possible to 
modify the prolog files so that only even or odd pages are printed, I don't 
know enough about PS to do it myself but if there is a PS guru out there.....
