Gunnar Ritter's Hierloom troff, a descendent of OpenSolaris's, can
adjust paragraphs rather than lines.

Ali Gholami Rudi's neatroff, a troff re-implementation, adjusts
paragraphs. Search for `paragraph-at-once' at http://litcave.rudi.ir/
or http://litcave.rudi.ir/neatroff.pdf
There could be others.
