I suspect that on the pdf side, an annotation is the correct solution.
The ps code could output a pdfmark to emulate the annotation, or just
define something in the header which expects a pair of coordinates and
a label and pops them.  The ps code in that case might look something
akin to:

% in the header
/replaceme {pop pop pop} bind def

% in the page
47.5 199.2 (y=sqrt x) replaceme
