This just came to me from a colleague. It may be out of date - but here it is, if it's of help.

Hello,
[A year later...] You know, I think I found exactly the right LaTeX package for this a while ago. It's called overpic:
http://www.nada.kth.se/~carsten/latex/overpic.html .
What's suggested below seems like more work.
James

My way is: Exporting the Stata graph as an eps, then using a .tex file like the one posted below. This file is then typeset by the following sequence of commands aslo posted below (in TeXShop, a Mac-Frontend for LaTeX, I do this via an "engine file" epsoverlay)
If anyone is interested, I could provide more details how to prepare your system to do all this. It assumes that the command epspdf exists, for instance. Of course this is not very convenient, at first sight, but works for me. It is even possible to use pstricks ...
