Yes, at least there are building-blocks to do this.

See the command (included in the geomview 1.6.1 distribution)
  hvectext

It's a UNIX shell command (actually a perl script) whose output is a
geomview VECT object.  It takes as arguments the text size, 3-D position
and alignment, the plane on which the text should lie (XY, XZ, YZ),
and of course the text.  Your module might say something like

  char cmd[256];

  printf("(geometry legend {\n");
  fflush(stdout);
  sprintf(cmd, "hvectext -at -.5 -1.0 2.5  -align nw -plane xy  -s .125  -- 'Range %g - %g'",
	minval, maxval);
  system(cmd);
  printf("})\n");
  fflush(stdout);
