|Is there a way to take care of this ? 

Yes, pipe run-length encoded files through /usr/lib/rasfilters/convert.2
to generate standard format images (or visa-versa)

|Are there any other Sun raster to Postscript software ? 

Yes, tons.  For example the PBM package and the Utah Raster Toolkit
have converters for postscript.
