You should try TPS (a "TeX PostScript package") from Stephan
Bechtolsheim; it got most of everything you are looking for. I'm
using it for about a year now and I'm pretty happy with it (although I
would appreciate it would be a bit faster...). 

It is available by anonymous ftp from cssun.tamu.edu. Retrieve
tps.tar.Z. You can also get a Sun cartridge from Stephan directly
(drop me a mail if you want to postal address or send e-mail to
svb@cssun.tamu.edu).
