It seems like somebody got this to work in October 2008 (on Leopard).

He used an application RCdefaultApp to change the public.data UTI
to be TextMate instead of TextEdit.

Quote:
"A few hours later, after reading up on UTIs, I looked through the  
list of
public.* utis in RCdefaultApp and I found the UTI public.data was set to
textedit-- i set it to textmate, and all my extensionless text files  
seem to
open properly now."

Here is a link to RCdefaultApp:

Let me know how it works out.
