It is certainly _a_ way to go, and in general a very good one,
once you know what you are doing.
It's not clear what you mean by "dynamically"; but for instance
it would be perfectly possible to set up (assuming you're using
a UNIXoid system) a script which watches a data-file and,
every time it changes, runs groff, produces a newly formatted
document within a second or two based on the new version of the
data, and displays this on screen.
The other bits you mention -- EPS file with text, images and
borderlines -- are no problem provided the images are themselves
EPS files. Other image formats could be trickier.
May one learn more detail of what you want?

On the contrary -- welcome to the community!
