M. E. Lesk's ms manual says you can redefine PT and BT,
so you might try something like


  .nr noheader 0
  .de noheader
  .nr noheader 1
  ..
  .de PT
  .if !\\n[noheader] \{\
  .ie o .tl \\*[pg*OH]
  .el   .tl \\*[pg*EH]
  .\}
  .nr noheader 0
  ..


Note: I haven't actually tried this, it's just a rough sketch
of how it might work.  The idea is now to simply call
".noheader" before the macro which causes a page break
to start a new chapter.
