Artemio,
That sounds like a case that I probably did not cover. I only setup the autoconvert to work for the typesetting engines that are included as a part of the preferences dialog, since I could not possibly guess the right thing to do for variant xxxx of TeX that people might specify with a %!TEX directive.
My suggestion is that you you write yourself a little script call it mytex that calls plain tex and then dvips / ps2pdf If mytex is on your PATH then you can use mytex as the typesetting engine in the %! TEX directive.

Brad,
Thanks a lot for your help! Although I am a total newbie with TextMate, after some experiment I came up with the following script called "alttex", which works like a charm (I'm posting it in case it may be of help to someone else):
FILE="${TM_LATEX_MASTER:-$TM_FILEPATH}" etex "$FILE" && dvips -t a4 "${FILE%.tex}.dvi" && ps2pdf "${FILE.tex}.ps"
Thanks a lot again,
Artemio
