Yup, that'll work.

Yvan>  repeat
Yvan>     delay 1
Yvan>     try
Yvan>         do shell script "ps -p " & pid
Yvan>         if not (the result contains pid) then exit repeat
Yvan>     end try
Yvan> end repeat

But that won't; it'll loop forever on Leopard.  If you put the
result-contains-pid check outside the try, though, then it should
work.  Also, if you're going to use an English-like language, might as
well go all the way:

repeat
    delay 1
    try
      do shell script "ps -p" & pid
    end try
    if the result doesn't contain pid then exit repeat
end repeat
