There's a couple.  the 'doc' application from the 'iv' port does it, but 
I don't know that I'd recommend it, because iv is _huge_ (unless you need 
a neat C++ graphics/gui library) the size isn't justified.  If you have 
tex installed (say from the ports teTeX distribution) then noname (yeah, 
it's called noname) does print postscript, and it's WYSIWYG.  noname 
requires Motif, but there's a statically compiled version on 
wcarchive.cdrom.com, in pub/FreeBSD/incoming.
