This particular problem can be solved easily by saying

  groff <your macro package(s)> -mpsnew ...

Nevertheless, the general solution is to write a proper input encoding
file to map Latin-2 to glyph names; something like

  .char Ł \[/L]
  .char ł \[/l]
  ...

(and inventing glyph names if necessary).  In combination with
properly added Polish PS fonts this should work as expected.

Yes, but I no longer have the reference; maybe Staszek
<address@hidden> can give a pointer.
