Before we began using FrameMaker on NeXTs and Suns, our department
used Illustrator EPS files in troff with few difficulties. I came
here after we had pretty much switched over to Frame, but as far
as I know this method worked well.

You should be able to find an Illustrator EPS file - from Adobe
or a users group - and try it out.
