I was thinking of something simpler, like this:

.if t .if \n(.g \{\
.  ds fC \f(CR
.  ds fP \fP
.\}

and then surrounding constant-width text with \*(fC and \*(fP. This 
should be legible with older troff without worrying whether the older 
troff supports CW. For older troff, being legible is good enough.
