   is there any way of making grops produce bounding boxes for its
   postscript output?

No, but there's a program called bbfig that can, in conjunction with a
PostScript interpreter, calculate the bounding box of most PostScript
documents.  You can ftp it from
saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/postscript/bbfig.shar.
