One way of getting a form feed (or any other control characters) to
output without changing nroff, is to modify the definition of some of the
unneeded special name characters in one of the terminal driving tables
(ie, the "tabxxx" files in /usr/lib/term).  For example, "\(bs" (the bell
system sign) could be redefined as

	"\000\f",        /*bell system sign;  changed to formfeed (trw) */

Then, at the beginning of your page heading macro, insert:

	.tl '\(bs'''
