Try GhostScript (GNU software) from the Free Software Foundation. The sources should be available at
most anonymous ftp sites that have GNU software ( it is available from wuarchive.wustl.edu under 
under pub/ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z ).  Also, there is a program called xps that supposedly works under
X11 R3, but I have not tried it. 

If you have OpenWindows/XNews installed, then you can use 'pageview' on the Suns.  It lets you modify
the postscript code and view it simultaneously, so it is really good for developing PS code.
