In theory you could, when you were converting from PS to G-Code NOT emulate the arc with bezier curves, but convert them into g-code circles. This would likely cause the laser cutter to cut something that looked SLIGHTLY different than the rendered PDF. But anyone who's worked in the field long enough knows that WYSIWYG is a lie (albeit a very useful lie.)
