I don't know your environment. So I can't recommend it.
But I don't use old Spectre such as version 5.1.
Phase noise decomopsition to AM/PM ability might be unavailable in Spectre 5.1.

run pss+pnoise using shooting
plot pnoise to new window, hold the result
run pss+pnoise using flexbalance
append pnoise to previous window
print result to ps
No, you can't do the above tasks in "-nograph" environment.
You have to write data in text file such as CSV style then use some graph drawing tool such as microsoft excel.
If you lauch ocean without "-nograph", you can do the above tasks.
Here you can also execute other vendor tools such as ADSsim in RFDE or Agilent GoldenGate which can produce PSF data.
See the followings.

From first, your post is not "Phase Noise and Jitter Measurements".
