yep, for dvips from arbortext at least, you can use the psfig/tex package
I cooked up. 

It is available for anonymous ftp it from linc.cis.upenn.edu in
~ftp/dist/psfig/tex.tar.Z

A slightly older version should be available in the comp.sources
archives under the name figtex.

For all those who dont have dvips (which is a $comerical$ product):
sorry but nobody has made the needed mods to dvi2ps to allow literal
postscript passthrough as well as file inclusion as far as I know.
(hint-- if anyone has a dvi2ps that can do this I might find the time
to make psfig/tex work with it)

Also I do not as a habit like to mail these sources around, since the
tar file (incl. sample figures) is large. If you cant use ftp please
find a nearby site that can and is willing to help you out.
