Thats strange, since EPS support has been available for a very long time.

Well the algorithm used in the compression of JPG is (purportedly)
proprietary and including support would mean an increase in the
license fee you pay (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jpg#Patent_issues although the US patent
may have expired now).
Stata supports several different formats depending on your platform
(see -man graph export-).
Probably the most amenable if you can't get .eps files to work is
Portable Network Graphics (.png).
I've had no problems inserting PNG files into my LaTeX documents
(using both TeXk v 3.141592 that ships with Cygwin or TexLive 2008 (
Tex v3.1415926) on my GNU/Linux distribution).
LaTeX version and examples of your code may illicit more specific advice.
