I suggest to try heirloom troff which supports OpenType fonts
natively. Otherwise...

... I see this in
http://www.lcdf.org/type/t1reencode.1.html :
This series of commands, which use cfftot1(1) and otftotfm(1) as
well as t1reencode itself, generate a version of Warnock Pro
Regular with old-style figures in the slots for numbers (because
of otftotfm’s -fonum option). The new font will be called
WarnockPro-RegularOsF.
otftotfm -fonum WarnockPro-Regular.otf \
--output-encoding /tmp/osf.enc
cfftot1 WarnockPro-Regular.otf | t1reencode -e /tmp/osf.enc \
-n WarnockPro-RegularOsF -N "Warnock Pro Regular OsF" \
-o WarnoProRegOsF.pfb
It seems to me that this is exactly what you need.
