If you have LaTeX installed gnuplot has normally has access to these
fonts. You just have to embed the font file and access the glyph by the
octal code. See ps_fontfile_doc.pdf that is included in gnuplot.

Here (untested):

set terminal postscript enhanced fontfile 'cmmi10.pfb'
set label "{/CMMI10 \140}" at 0,0

In this way, you have access to all math characters LaTeX knows (that are
available as Type 1 fonts).
