Basically, the answer is no.  Assuming that you want to create a PDF
file, you have to convert everything to PostScript first, including
images.

On the other hand, Deri James has written a PDF driver (gropdf) for
troff, so following his route you should be able to embed such images
into a PDF directly.  However, I don't know whether his driver is
mature enough to support such images formats natively.
