I don't use .RP in my documents, but pdfroff, in combination with 
spdf.tmac does offer a more flexible alternative -- specify the 
markup for your cover page(s) bounded by .CS and .CE, (much as you 
would use .PS and .PE to bound pic code).

Have a look at how I do it, in the pdfmark.ms source for the manual; 
if you don't already have the sources, you can browse it online, at:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/groff/contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.ms?root=groff&content-type=text%2Fplain

and also note how this relates to the cover stylesheet, cover.ms:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/groff/contrib/pdfmark/cover.ms?root=groff&content-type=text%2Fplain

(note that you add a `--stylesheet=cover.ms' to the pdfroff command 
invocation, to initiate this cover sheet formatting mechanism).

Keith.
