I know of 2. Both commercial products. Elan software makes one called
nroff/PC. It lists for about $95 and is only nroff, the tbl and eqn
preprocessors, the man and mm macro packages.
MKS systems also has a package called MDQS or something very similar.
It contains both nroff and troff as well as the eqn and table preprocessors
and macro packages. MKS systems also has a LAserJet driver and a postscript
driver for their troff clone. The MKS package runs ~$500 for the  basic
nroff/troff and I don't remember the laser printer driver prices but 
~$295??
