If that is what you need to do then use pstricks, and set up 
pdftex to output dvi code instead of pdf (\pdfoutput=-1).Then 
you are just two quick commands away from a pdf file, dvips and 
then ps2pdf.

The other option I would look into is metafun, which works with 
context, which uses pdftex as its engine.
