IMHO, for anything on the scale of a doctoral dissertation, a better solution 
would be to develop a native Plan 9 C port of TeX, METAFONT, and LaTeX for Plan 
9 from Bell Labs.  Troff is ill-suited for typesetting mathematics, as anyone 
who has tried to use troff to typeset formulas and equations of any complexity 
will readily attest.

All the best.
