The page How to use PSTricks in pdfLaTeX? explains a workaround that allows to use PSTricks in pdfLaTeX. As far as I understand it, it allows you to include a mix of eps and pdf figures in a TeX document and to compile the document with pdfLaTeX. Along similar lines, I was wondering if there is any way to get PSTricks to work with PDFTeXify in WinEdt?

Actually, epsf is a package designed to include .eps files in plain .tex files.
Anyway, if you want to continue using it in your document and, at the same time, you want to solve your problems with attached files, you can use the package attachfile2 with the option dvipdfmx instead of the package attachfile.
Simply substitute the line
\usepackage{attachfile}
with
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{attachfile2}
so to have
\documentclass[aps,pra,amsmath,amssymb,twocolumn,showpacs]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{epsf}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{attachfile2}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\epsfxsize=6.5cm\centering{\epsfbox{f/1.eps}}
\end{figure}
check attached here \attachfile{2013-05-17.nb}
\end{document}
Now you will be able to have the .pdf with the correct references to attached files compiling with the sequence latex -> dvi2pdf in WinEdt.
In regards of WinEdt, I remind you that PDFTeXify is a command that runs pdflatex, bibtex and makeindex as many times as needed for a completely compiled .pdf file.
You can change its behavior to run latex and subsequently dvipdfmx instead of pdflatex to accomplish your needs.
To do that, run the "Execution Modes" interface from the "Options" menu. Then select the page "TeX Options" and change the "PDFTeXify Method" from "Default" to "dvi -> pdf", as shown in the image below.
Turn things back to have its usual behavior.
Update
Anyway, I think you'd better use a more modern way to load .eps files in your document and use pdflatex to compile it.
I suggest to use the epstopdf package, which converts your 1.eps file to 1-eps-converted-to.pdf at runtime and uses it instead of the .eps one.
Remember to load the epstopdf package after graphicx or you might get errors.
Your MWE can be rewritten as
\documentclass[aps,pra,amsmath,amssymb,twocolumn,showpacs]{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{epstopdf}
\usepackage{attachfile}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6.5cm]{f/1.eps}
\end{figure}
check attached here \attachfile{2013-05-17.nb}
\end{document}
and compiled with PDFTeXify with no changes in WinEdt.
Best Answer
texify (or pdftexify) is merely a program that will run (pdf)latex (and, if necessary, bibtex, makeindex, and what not) for however many times it takes to get all cross-references, citations, index commands, etc sorted out and resolved properly. Hence, as long as you've set your pdflatex program to run properly with pstricks, e.g., by specifying
pdflatex -shell-escape, you shouldn't encounter any problems with pdftexify.
