What about a file /usr/lib/mgetty+sendfax/new_fax like this:
(Don't forget to chmod +x it!)

#!/bin/sh
# This is called from mgetty/vgetty with args
# <HUP> <Sender> <# pages> <Filenames>
hup=$1
shift
sender=$1
shift
nofp=$1
shift
fns=$*
cat $fns | g32pbm | lpr


There is one major problem with this approach: If you receive low and high
resolution faxes you should use the -n/f options for g32pbm. Maybe you can
find a way to have file recognize the type. Maybe the option -d204x196 will
do the job.
