I think you will find that Kodak gave up on Dye Transfer two or three years ago.
There are a few people around who do something very similar. I believe it is called carbon pigment prints, but even these seem to be very rare, extremely time consuming to make and very expensive to produce.
Personally, I think that in a couple of years Ilfochrome prints on a commercial lab basis will also be a thing of the past. Just look around the gallery circuit to see how many photographers are now using the LightJet process to produce their fine art prints.

Yes, dye transfer got gutted some time back. To my knowledge, Ctein is one of the last people to be making dye transfer prints. See http://www.plaidworks.com/ctein/. You could try contacting him to see if any other manufacturer is producing anything that could help. Cheers, DJ.
Over at google groups rec.photo.equipment.large-format, James Browning announced that dry transfer matrix film is available again.
James has more information, I believe.
