One of the more common ways to do so is to have a keyboard that assigns four of the possible combinations to the square and curly brackets (i.e. "[, ], {, }"). An example: if I type "[", then hit the key "E", I'll obtain the character "ἔ" (U+1F14, i.e. an epsilon that has a smooth and an acute accent); if I do likewise with the key "A", I'll get "ἄ" (U+1F04); etc.

In case the following is helpful, since this is a matter of personal preference, here is how I enter ancient Greek: I use Greek polytonic, set in my Input Sources in Language and Text Preferences, and have no problem entering diacritics in TextMate. Forward slash + e in that keyboard gives me ἔ. I'm on TM 2, with OS 10.7.4.
