The cleaner solution is just to create a font subpackage for each of those
files, following font packaging guidelines, and have groff depend on them. If
groff does not know to seach for the files in another place than its own
directory, you just have to put symlinks there pointing to the new font file
location.

If the files were not font files (but from your description they are) the
solution would have been to change their extension and patch groff to use the
result

Of course, since we already have a ton of fonts in the distro, the best
solution would have been to make groff use one of them directly instead of its
own variants. But from your description that seems difficult.
