I don't know anything about the specific question you asked, but I
guess that both pdf(la)tex and dvipdfmx could use the same (dvips) map
file. Can you try with pdf(la)tex and see if it works as expected?

You can always try dvipdfmx (from TeX Live 2008, not earlier), but
using pdfTeX is more simple and better unless you need some very
special features of dvipdfmx.
