There are several possibilities:

  • Preview.app (comes with OS X) will open any PS (PostScript) file. In the background, I assume, a conversion to PDF takes place, but this should not be an issue.

  • Adobe Illustrator can open and edit PostScript files. Shelling out a rather big nmountamount of money for just viewing a PS file seems overkill, though. However, there is a free 30-day-trialfree 30-day-trial (link from January 2013 for CS6).
