The DWB 3.1 tbl documentation says:

When eqn and tbl are used together on the same file, tbl
should be used first.

There are all kinds of caveats, and some examples.
But that would be telling. Here's part of an example, though:

.EQ
delim $$
.EN
.TS
doublebox;
cB cB
1 1.
.sp 2p
Name	Definition
.vs +2p
Gamma	$GAMMA (z)~=~int sub 0 sup inf t sup {z-1} e sup -t dt$
etc.
.TE

So, at least it can be done.
