If you're familiar with sed, lex, or awk, you could write a script
which converts the raw troff documents to rtf format, sort of a
primitive "macroff" :-). I did something similar several years back
when I moved my research papers and refer database over to the mac. I
didn't bother converting the troff mm macros; I simply cleaned up the
document format.
