You can already export to TeX PStricks-format from Dia. If you export
to foo.tex you can make an eps-file by the following steps:

Make a file, let's say bar.tex, with the following content:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\input{foo.tex}
\end{document}

Enter the following commands:
latex bar.tex
dvips bar.dvi -o
ps2epsi bar.ps

and you will have the file bar.epsi. That could be automated of course.
