OnMyCommandCM (free at http://www.abracode.com/free/cmworkshop/) lets 
you write your own CMs using shell scripts. I just downloaded it and 
have quickly hacked out two contextual menu commands:

Edit in TM (pop it up on a file)
Edit New File Here in TM (pop it up on a directory; if you pick a 
file, it puts a new file in the same directory)

To install:
1. Download and install OMC.
2. Make sure you have the 1.1b5 tm CLI command.
3. Download OnMyCommandCMs from 
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Tools/CM/
4. Import the commands using the OMC_Edit tool in the OMC folder.
5. It expects ~/bin/tm to be the binary. If yours is elsewhere, use 
OMC_Edit to change the paths.

I hope that helps.

best, Eric
