Don't think so.  What you get depends on the output device, but I think
you get PostScript's symbol font's rho.  (On my system, on both postscript
and x11 devices.)  That font does not have the equivalent of varrho
(although it does for varpsi).

The usual answer is to use pstricks with LaTeX to post-process the output.
