As I said, external-graphic is not suited to display multi-page images. The behaviour of layouting multi-page images is not defined in the spec.
If the PostScript pages are the only content on a page and you use FOP to basically print a header page only, then you could distill your PS file to PDF (using GhostScript) and add the generated pages to the header page generated in FOP using iText or something like that. The other idea is to write a little Java class that parses the PostScript file, and splits it in three parts: header, pages and trailer. The header and trailer you store in memory and for each page you create a new PS file with the header the page x and the trailer, so you get a PS file for every page in the original file: myfile.ps --> myfile1.ps, myfile2.ps, myfile3.ps. Then you can use external-graphic to place every page on the PDF. Parsing the PS should be real simple if they are in ASCII-mode since you simply have to look for the DSC comments. Does that help?
