That's curious. There's a file called dvips in my minimals-context/tex/ 
temf-osx-intel/bin/

It seems to be dated 9/17/07

The version of pdftex is newer than the patched one: July 22 2009 vs.  
March 31 2009. I'm going to assume it's OK.

Sorry. In that case I take my word back. It may be in minimals, but I
would be surprised if it worked at all. (Maybe I just forgot to kick
it out to obsolete.)
