In the repository you'll find a nice OnMyCommand set written by FredB  
that implements this and several other bits and pieces. I only found  
it again by control clicking on some random text in Mail the other  
day. To use it you require OnMyCommand (which includes OMCEdit, a  
nice GUI way to view and create contextual menu items). See http:// 
free.abracode.com/cmworkshop/

Here's the list of contextual menu items  provided by FredB's plist  
(taken from the accompanying README file). You can use any subset of  
these that look, err, useful.

Cheers,
Paul
=======================================================================
-Open in TextMate (pop it up on a file or folder)
-New TextMate file here (pop it up on a directory; if you pick a  
file, it puts a new file in the same directory)

-New TextMate file here (alt)

(Same as Eric's version, except it creates the file first (with a  
dialog asking you for a name) then opens it (with open-a instead of  
mate).
That means: The language/Syntax-Highlight is selected according to  
the file extension If a file with the same name already exists in the  
directory, it opens it without any change)

-New TextMate file here with Clipboard text (Same as above, but  
include the text in the Clipboard, if any.)
-Open selected text in TextMate
-Set type and creator to TextMate
-Edit OMC commands in TextMate
-List folder content in TextMate
-List pkg content in TextMate
