Hello all, I have indexing in my -markup macros (which do the same sort of job as -mom but differently). It uses the conventions of makeindex, and creates several intermediate files (so has to be used with groff -U). The process is automatic using the .Index macro. You can find the source and documentation in
http://www.oxytropis.plus.com/groff/ where there is a rather old version (I'll try to find time to update it), but it's worked well for many years. I don't know of any other troff macro package with indexing.
