This maybe another option, put this is your decision.

\documentclass[english,11pt]{article}

\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{pst-tree}
\usepackage{avm}

\begin{document}

\newsavebox\DP
\sbox\DP{\begin{avm}
   \[\emph{phrase}\\
      head & \@4\[\emph{noun}\\
       agr & \@2
   \]\\
   val & \[\emph{val-cat}\\
              comps & itr\\
           spr & $+$ \]
\]
\end{avm}}
\newlength\HBox\HBox=\ht\DP
\advance\HBox by \dp\DP

and I want to use them inside \verb+\pstree+ like this:

\newpsobject{knoop}{TR}{ref=b}
\psset{nodesep=3pt, levelsep=1.4\HBox}
\pstree{\knoop{\usebox\DP}}{%
   \pstree{\knoop{\usebox\DP}}{%
        \pstree{\knoop{\usebox\DP}}{%
             \knoop{The}%
}}}
\end{document}
