It looks like the `mate` command has a `-l` option, so `mate -l 25 source.html` would take you to line 25. You just have to figure out how to pass the line number, I guess.

Also, take a look at this part of the manual. 

http://manual.macromates.com/en/using_textmate_from_terminal#url_scheme_html

You can have a line number in the URL. If it requires a Terminal command and can't use a URL directly, the `open` command should do the right thing. (i.e. `open 'txmt://open/?url=source.txt&line=25'`)
