AFAIK not with groff alone.

Ghostscript has ps2epsi.  ISTR PStricks has something similar.  If PDF
is acceptable, dvipdfm (http://gaspra.kettering.edu/dvipdfm/) produces
encapsulated an encapsulated PDF.  

I have the same need, and do wish it was simpler.  What better way to
generate diagrams for reference by HTML?  Until, that is, the browser
recognizes troff.  

HTH.
