Using LaTeX, just specify the driver options with \usepackage :

   \usepackage[dvips,ps,all,color,rotate,line]{xy}

This assumes you are not processing with pdfTeX, since you say
you want a PostScript file.


If not using LaTeX, then just have a block of \xyoption{...}
commands which you can comment or uncomment at will.


Alternatively use the latest Xy-pic with automatic Xypdf support,
and pdfTeX as the processing engine, then use your OS to print
the PDF to PostScript. That should work quite well for most things
that Xy-pic provides.
