Hi Troy,

Yes; this is a good way to do it, though the lines and arrow-heads can be
a bit too thin for my taste, unless you use [thicker] or alter the default
line-thickness.

Well, there are 2 things wrong with this line:
1. you appear to be mixing options here: dvips and pdf output.
2. option names do *not* include the xy.
You want a package line of:
\usepackage[pdftex,all,color,line]{xy} % in preamble
or
\usepackage[pdftex,pdf,all,color,line]{xy} % in preamble
to process with TeXShop's pdftex mode.
However, you will not get [thicker] lines this way.
That mode uses fonts only for lines and arrow-heads, and color \special s.
Full drawing in PDF has not been implemented -- any takers to tackle this ?
If xypdftex.tex isn't being found, try sudo texhash .
Hope this helps,
