standard knowlage, the graphicx package can actually determine whether 
dvi or pdf output is used, so

simply using

\includegraphics{file}

instead of

\includegraphics{file.eps}

will have the following effect

i dvi-mode (aka latex) the file (if found) file.eps will be included,
in pdf-mode, pdflatex will look for file.pdf, file.jpg, file.png or 
file.mps, and include the one that it finds first (I'm not quite sure in 
which order it searches)
