In the PDF specs I actually found something about including PostScript. Chapter "4.10 PostScript XObjects" might be a solution but it also says there:
Note: Since PDF 1.3 encompasses all of the Adobe imaging model features of the PostScript language, there is no longer any reason to use PostScript XObjects. This feature is likely to be removed from PDF in a future version. Someone would have to write some code that can import EPS files and save the PostScript portion in a PostScript XObject. The note above suggests that the generating application should be able to convert EPS/PostScript into PDF. This is probably quite a task, right? Another possibility might be to extend the PostScript renderer to be able to embed EPS files. But then the generated PostScript file would have to be converted to PDF using Distiller, GhostScript, Jaws PDF Library or something else.
