Well, you need to convert the eps to pdf since PostScript is a full
programming language while PDF is rather limited.
I used usually 'epstopdf' for this purpose, but one can also use
texutil --figures --epstopdf some_eps_file.eps
(I tend to forget the syntax of texutil, moreover I'm frequently unsure
whether texexec or texutil contains a certain feature therefore I
usually use epstopdf which does essentially the same).

If you use \useexternalfigure[some_image], it automatically includes
some_image.eps in the DVI mode and some_image.pdf in the PDF mode.

Don't hesitate to send questions to the mailing list. That's better than
being stuck for that long!
