Adobe Streamline 2.0 for the Mac seems quite capable of this, and is
reasonably priced at under $150. Compared to its $300+ price tag a
year ago, it's worth a look-see. The program literally traces the bitmap,
and converts it into an editable PostScript file -- Illustrator format,
I assume.

Although, if it's just for one file, I wouldn't go to the trouble. But
it is wonderful for scanning line art, and converting it to a [much
smaller] postscript file.
