Nick,
One would need the special monsters from PS, basically finding a Pathfinder site that upgrades 2nd ed. monsters. Possible but tough to find.
Then there is the story, while "Baldur's Gate" was pretty linear, the main plot-line at least, "Planescape Torment" was anything but. Even finding Pharod, the first time, without cheating by reading FAQs, was quite hard to suss from the myriad of side quests.
Most of the game was about reading the stories and very little about interacting with the world (apart from starting the dialogs) or bashing things; thus this would be an incredible feat to actually role-play.
The GM would need to love reading prose and the players would need to be very attentive.
Of course, upgrading a 2nd edition Planescape adventure to Pathfinder should not be too difficult. Still, Planescape to me is "Planescape: Torment".
