.PSPIC is documented in groff_tmac(5). It is supposed to load an EPS-file.
That should work in the troff modes. In tty-modes and in X-mode it is not
possible to show the EPS-file, so only a box with the file name is generated.
But that does not work.
The only working troff mode is dvi. The EPS-image is drawn without errors.
But before and aftger the image a page break is printed, which does not
make sense, but at least it draws correctly. Unfortunately it accepts only
direct filenames (e.g. starting with `/').
The modes html, xhtml, ps, and pdf produce many error messages and don't
draw the image.
So .PSPIC seems to be broken for almost all modes.
I tried to read the pspic.tmac file, but it is quite complicated.

PS: How did I get the EPS-file?
With lilypond. I used a lilypond file test.ly with the content:
###### test.ly
\version "2.14.2"
{
c' e' g' e'
}
####### end test.ly
Then I ran:
$ lilypond --ps -o /tmp/test test.ly
This generated a file /tmp/test.ps. Then I transformed this into EPS:
$ ps2eps /tmp/test.ps
That generated /tmp/test.eps that should be imported by .PSPIC:
##### test.troff
asdf
.PSPIC /tmp/test.eps
qwer
##### end test.troff
But groff did not work as described above.
I also tried the EPS and other format files generated by
$ lilypond -d backend=eps test.ly
