Have you tried porting psroff?  There shouldn't be much in
the way of system dependencies in the code you need (troff2ps
binary only).  And the system dependencies are probably mostly
in stuff you don't need, and can dummy out.  If you wanna try,
I'll help - and I wrote psroff.

It'd be a heck of a lot faster in operation than going through
ghostscript.
