The 'quick and dirty' solution is using the psfrag package.
It replaces parts of an .eps file on the fly.

If, for example, your graph contains lambda and x1 und you want
latex-style labels, you have to include:
\psfrag{lamba}{\lambda}
\psfrag{x1}{x_1}

in your tex document before including the .eps file.

Best,
Daniel
