no, it's not hard (although I have only done it a few times by hand so
don't actually have a script for it). Basically this is the same process
(using dvips -E, that the latex->html converters do before making gif
files).

That's also what you _have_ to do to use psfrag with pdftex. (So you
can distil the combined eps file to pdf).
