They basically are scripts, yes.

I am working with this .engine file for example:

#!/bin/sh
location=$(dirname "$1")
basefname="${location}/`basename "$1" .tex`"
# process the bibliography
for file in "${location}/${basefname}"?.aux ;
do
     bibtex "${file}"
done

(BibTeX is called for any file1.bbl, file2.bbl etc., which are  
created by bibtopic to make multiple bibliographies possible.)

Would something like that work from Textmate?
(Maybe it obviously does, I am not a shell guru ...)

Thanks,
Matthias
