psroff will take C/A/T troff output and convert it to ditroff output,
which'll work as long as you have something to convert ditroff output
to X.  This doesn't require ditroff itself, just ditroff->X windows
conversion of some kind.

If not, psroff's drivers are pretty easy to write, and you could probably
write your own to drive X.

psroff can be found in comp.sources.unix archives.
