I think so.  :-)

Yes.  It requires you to use \f, but you can.  We avoid \f as much as
possible, but here it's not possible, and I think I've used it already
in a few places.  Here's an example of how to do it:

	alx@debian:~/tmp$ cat roman.man 
	.TH a s d f
	.SH foo
	.SS bar \f[R]baz\f[]
	asdf

\f[R] starts a roman (non-bold) text, and \f[] reverts to the previous
thing, which in this case is bold.
