Draw tally marks using PSTricks

with xelatex or lualatex. The font TallyMark is available from http://www.fonts2u.com/tally-mark.font

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\newfontface\Tally{TallyMark}
\newcounter{TallyTemp}
\def\tallymark#1{%
  \setcounter{TallyTemp}{#1}%
  \ifnum#1>5
    {\Tally E}\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-5}%
  \else{\Tally%   
    \ifcase#1\or
    A\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-1}\or
    B\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-2}\or
    C\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-3}\or
    D\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-4}\or
    E\addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-5}%
    \fi}%
  \fi%
  \ifnum\theTallyTemp>0 \expandafter\tallymark\expandafter{\theTallyTemp}\fi
}

\begin{document}

\tallymark{0}
\tallymark{1}
\tallymark{2}
\tallymark{3}
\tallymark{4}
\tallymark{5}
\tallymark{14}

\end{document}

If you want to use PSTricks then define the commands \ONE, \TWO, ... and draw the lines. Really simple:

\documentclass{article}    
\usepackage{pstricks-add}    
\newcommand*\tallymarksOne{\pslineByHand(0,0)(0,1)}
\newcommand*\tallymarksTwo{\tallymarksOne\pslineByHand(2pt,0)(2pt,1)}
\newcommand*\tallymarksThree{\tallymarksTwo\pslineByHand(4pt,0)(4pt,1)}
\newcommand*\tallymarksFour{\tallymarksThree\pslineByHand(6pt,0)(6pt,1)}
\newcommand*\tallymarksFive{\tallymarksFour\pslineByHand(-17pt,0)(8pt,1)}

\newcounter{TallyTemp}
\def\tallymark#1{%
  \setcounter{TallyTemp}{#1}%
  \ifnum#1>5
    \tallymarksFive\kern14pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-5}%
  \else%   
    \ifcase#1\or
    \tallymarksOne\kern3pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-1}\or
    \tallymarksTwo\kern6pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-2}\or
    \tallymarksThree\kern9pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-3}\or
    \tallymarksFour\kern12pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-4}\or
    \tallymarksFive\kern14pt \addtocounter{TallyTemp}{-5}%
    \fi%
  \fi%
  \ifnum\theTallyTemp>0 \expandafter\tallymark\expandafter{\theTallyTemp}\fi
  \vspace{1cm}
}

\begin{document}

\tallymark{0}\par
\tallymark{1}\par
\tallymark{2}\par
\tallymark{3}\par
\tallymark{4}\par
\tallymark{5}\par
\tallymark{14}

\end{document}

You need not any special font, any PSTricks, only \pdfliteral:

\newcount\tmpnum
\def\tallymarks#1{\leavevmode \lower1bp\vbox to9bp{}%
   \tmpnum=#1
   \loop \ifnum\tmpnum<5 \kern1bp \tallynum\tmpnum \else \tallyV \fi
         \advance\tmpnum by-5
         \ifnum\tmpnum>0 \repeat
}
\def\tallynum#1{\bgroup\tmpnum=#1\relax
   \loop \ifnum\tmpnum>0
         \kern1bp \tallyI \kern1bp
         \advance\tmpnum by-1
         \repeat
   \egroup
}
\def\tallyI{\pdfliteral{q .5 w 0 -1 m 0 8 l S Q}}
\def\tallyV{\kern1bp\pdfliteral{q .5 w -1 0 m 9 7 l S Q}\tallynum4\kern1bp }

test1: \tallymarks{3}

test2: \tallymarks{17}
