One that I know of is groff from the Free Software Foundation. It
has drivers for both postscript and TeX dvi formats. It can be ftp'd from
prep.ai.mit.edu. If I remember correctly, you need GNU C++  version 1.37.1 or 
greater to compile it. It does have some differences from troff though.
I'd be interested in any others that may exist.
