The GNU equivalent of `a2ps' is called `enscript', and it *was*
ported; get v2gnu/ens150b.zip from SimTel. I think it does support 2-up
printing.
However, I have never tried to use `enscript' on PostScript files, it is
usually meant to decorate ASCII files with PostScript niceties so it
looks pretty on paper (that's why the Unix program is called `a2ps':
it's ASCII-to-PostScript). So I don't know whether `enscript' can print
a PostScript file as 2-up, if the original file wasn't alredy formatted
as 2-up.
