Since no-one had a sensible answer, why not try a version of original 
nroff from say 4.3BSD.  Hunting around, I found this: 
http://www.tuhs.org/.  Hopefully the most used macros will have stayed 
the same.  You'd need to grab usr.src and I'm sure it would need some 
tweaking...  depends just how much you care, I guess.
