Psxlate in Psroff 3.0 supports this.  Psroff 3.0 is about to be released
as soon as I get the last little bit of stuff about LJIII builtin font
support back from a tester.  Psxlate uses psnup to do n-up processing,
and will do a number of different page sorts, and new page sorts are easy
to add.  The document has to conform to the document structuring convention
for page reorder to work.  Does psnup work on your document?

Tom, if you need it right now I could mail you psxlate, but I don't want
to do yet another partial posting of psroff 3.0 stuff.
