Well I don't have a macro package but I do have a little lex script
that converts runoff macro invocations to nroff mm macro invocations.
It's a quick hack, it's not complete, (it only recognizes the subset
of runoff macros that were in the documents that I needed to convert),
but you are welcome to it.  It could serve as a base for you to hack
if no one else comes up with a better solution.  Send me email if
there is any interest.
