Even though it doesn't handle nroff/troff, you may be interested in
a MPW tool I've written. The following discription is from it's header.
Read '\b' as 'backspace'.

    Man2RTF is a quick hack to convert a text file to Rich Text Format.
    It converts some of the control sequences common in Un*x files into
    the equivalent RTF character formatting. It converts the following
    sequences:
    
        "a\ba"          =>  Bold 'a'
        "a\ba\ba"       =>  Bold 'a'
        "a\ba\ba\ba"    =>  Bold 'a'
        "_\ba"          =>  Underlined 'a'
        "_\ba\ba"       =>  Underlined Bold 'a'

If there's enough interest, I'll hack it to run under Un*x and post
it to comp.sources.mac.
