The way I get around this is to get Preview.app to convert
the figure.eps file to figure.pdf file before compiling with
latex etc. Then I use

\usepackage{graphicx}

and then

\includegraphics{figure}

As a bonus you can use Preview.app to do some cropping if
you wish. The only complaint I have is that you need two
files: the source file figure.eps and the pdf version
figure.pdf.

Other solutions have been presented. I hope this helps.
