It is certainly worth trying SoftQuad, but they have
significantly changed the intermediate "Context" language in
ditroff so that it is not the same as "old ditroff". Therefore
the postprocessors that they support are based on their
Context Language.  Perhaps they still do postprocessors for
standard ditroff.
