I don't see why, at least not for systems with Ghostscript and netpbm.
The mule-ps-print does something a lot more complicated (it generates
whole fonts on the fly from X11 BDFs).
The main issues would have to do with getting the scaling right, and
that should be more cut-and-try than anything else. At least for
draft-quality, which is all you'd get from most XEmacs buffers anyway
(since you can't easily flow text around an image).
