If someone is interested here's the code:
[I do not have CSSEdit but it should work and, of course, the code can  
be optimized ;)]

tmcommand:
Input: selection or nothing
Output: replace selected text
Save: nothing
Command:

# get indention
HEAD=$(echo -en "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" | head -n 1 | perl -ne 'm/ 
^([\t ]*)/;print $1')

# write selection to file
echo -en "$TM_SELECTED_TEXT" | perl -pe "s/^$HEAD//g;" > /tmp/tm.css

# open CSSEdit
open -a CSSEdit /tmp/tm.css

# wait for CSSEdit (it must be quitted!)
while [ `ps -ax | grep 'CSSEdit\.app' | wc -l` == "1" ]
do
	sleep 0.5
done

# write file back to TM
if [ -f /tmp/tm.css ]; then
	cat /tmp/tm.css | sed "s/^/$HEAD/"
	rm /tmp/tm.css
else
	beep
	exit_discard
fi

Scope Selector: source.css


To kill this command simply press APPLE+.
