I'll check into what kind of support is needed for this in the port.
I take it simply configuring in librsvg is not enough?

Kenichi Handa was working on improved postscript printing for the
unicode emacs core, but other priorities took precedence.

Such an elaborate mechanism involving 3rd-party software is
appropriate for distributions (of which there are none for Emacs.app)
but not the port itself.

Within *Step there is support for WYSIWIG printing based on the
underlying display model in which screen and printing are done via the
same graphics primitives.  But because emacs itself manages so much of
the rendering, some hacks would be needed to leverage this in
Emacs.app.
