Have you tried using latex->dvips->ps2pdf ? I used to use that and it
always dealt perfectly well with the negative bboxes in PyX's EPS
output. Quality was always perfect too. If you absolutely need to use
dvipdfm for some reason, then you can use the paperformat option, as
Alan suggested.

Now I use pdflatex and PyX's PDF output, which also works pretty
flawlessly. This has the advantage of allowing transparency in the
figures. On the other hand, pdflatex is slower than latex for large
docs.
