While I highly appreciate idea of using ImageMagick in KDE/KOffice, what about 
converting PNG->EPS using GhostScript?
GhostScript 7.x (in paricular, GNU GS 7.05) can be compiled as shared library, 
so you can make call directly to ghostscript.so, instead of invoking gs 
executable (like KPrinter does at a moment)

BTW:  what GS can't do is to convert SVG or WMF to EPS.  You indeed may want 
to use ImageMagick for that task.  SVG support in ImageMagick is not perfect, 
but WMF support is quite good!
