Essentially yes, fairly easily.

The graphic you refer to is actually an image, so the font is a picture, 
not vector data.

The image is combined with a soft mask, which is transparency, and 
therefore not avilable in PostScript, but the mask appears to be 100% 
opaque (thus pointless, other than for slowing down processing and using 
more memory). Removing the SMask shows no visible differences.

So yes, you could embed that image in a PostScript program instead, and 
get the same result.
