Not really, for various reasons.  In short, groff supports German
well, it supports Japanese if you use a special version from Debian,
but there isn't support for Chinese AFAIK.

With `support' I mean that you can easily input the language, without
preprocessing the data to a format groff can understand more or less.

Hopefully, this will change as soon as UTF8 input is implemented.

For the moment -- being heretical -- I recommend LaTeX to do what you
want, using my CJK package.
