Please search in the list archive 2010 for the subject "pspic: Text  
around picture".
I had a similar question and it's quite hard to entirely do it  
yourself if you're not used to the sometimes cryptic outlook of pure  
troff code.

However, Werner Lemberg came up with a solution to build upon  
(rfloat). Unfortunately, I didn't have the nerves to dig down into the  
code yet. The picture is placed a bit too much to the right, the same  
amount as spacing between text and picture.

Hope this helps.

Again, big thanks to Werner for a starting point for floating text  
around pictures (and perhaps more objects, like PIC to come)!
