As run is similar to exec, and as exec just
executes a PostScript object, I don't see
how.  Adobe Distiller XI does not have
%Calendar%, so you cannot do this using only
PostScript.

However, you might be able to access an
operating system command from within
PostScript, as described later (using a
named pipe) in the PostScript FAQ section
referenced.  (I do not run a Mac, so cannot
help further.)
