It's not as fast as you might like, but you could try running

  mdfind 'kMDItemFSName = "TextMate.app" and kMDItemContentType =  
"com.apple.application-bundle"'

to find all installed copies of TextMate (you'd probably just want to  
take the first entry found). Also it would only work on Tiger.

It would be even better to simply query LaunchServices, but that  
requires writing a command-line utility with Xcode to be able to do.  
It's certainly feasible, it just may be outside the scope of what  
you're trying to do.
