OK, a little more searching turned up the dvipdfm user's manual and web  
page at:

<http://www.uni-koeln.de/math-nat-fak/tcchem/mitarbeiter/weber/weber/ 
Phd-MINI-HOWTO.html>

that both indicate that I should be able to insert:

\special{pdf: docview << /PageMode /UseOutlines >> }

right after the \begin{document} command and then insert:

\special{pdf: out 1 << /Title (3 Particle Kinetics: Equations of  
Motion) /Dest [ @thispage /FitH @ypos ] >>}

in the appropriate location in the source and I should get the  
bookmarks that I want. When I do this, upon opening the PDF, Acrobat  
tells me:

An unrecognized token 'docview' was found.

and I don't get any bookmarks. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
