No, the standard pstops filter does not support these things.

Sorry, but this isn't going to happen since the alternate pstops does
not work with some printers since it overrides the begin/end page
procedures that are used by many HP and Xerox PPDs.

Moreover, pstops is only one path that needs to support this stuff -
the various image and some PDF filters also bypass pstops...
