DVIPS doesn't make use of PPDs AFAIK.

If your PostScript isn't conforming to the specifications, your best  
option would be to add some additional steps:

  - open the .pdf in Adobe Acrobat
  - set Acrobat to use the .ppd in question
  - save (or print) to a PostScript file
  - distill w/ Acrobat Distiller

For my part, I've always found that the features which the Prinergy  
PPD affords are matched by the configurability of DVIPS and have had  
no need for it w/ the workflow you describe.
