How do,
First off, you might get a better response (maybe) asking in freebsd-doc
rather than questions. Anyway, . . .

I'm no expert, but I believe that the use of sgmlfmt is deprecated, and that
a combination of 'sgmls' and 'instant' are now suggested (at least, until
John Fieber decides to move to Jade).
Have you looked at
http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber/docbook/markupguide.html
which talks about converting DocBook to HTML. I'm guessing the info would
also apply to convert DocBook to PostScript.

Looking through the sgmlfmt man page (on my 2.1.7 system), I don't see a
'ps' option for '-f'. You might try using something like
sgmlfmt -d docbook -f nroff at1.docb | groff -Tps > at1.ps
which uses 'nroff' formatting, and uses groff to do the conversion to PS.
Hope that helps,
