Well if I recall correctly then this symbol isn't in the CM fonts. But
there is one in the AMS symbols ($TEXMF/doc/amstex/amsguide.dvi, p.21
Try: 
\setupbodyfont[ams] % \stelkorpsin[ams]
\definesymbol[10][$\blacktriangleright$]

Do you want to include this PS document or will this document your
PDF document.
How do you convert PS to PDF?
If you use GhostScript, use GS 6.0x (x=1 in a few hours).

I would think ConTeXt could handle it directly using
\externalfigure[foo.tiff], doesn't this work. (I never tried.)

Ups, why don't you use texexec --pdf?
