I really need a break. *When* did I graduate from
college!? :-(

I think you would need at least a shell script as I can't see any way to get
make to do what you want. IDL will read commands from the standard input and
in a script it can be made to read from a here-document within the script, but
I don't think you can have a make rule with a here-document.
So, e.g. create a file called 'script' with the contents:
idl << EOF
sav2ps,'$1',/eps
EOF
Then make your rule run the script:
.sav.eps :
./script $<
