Two things from Fiery Dragon.....an adventure (much acclaimed and well written) "Of Sound Mind" and the "Psionic Toolkit." I can't speak to the latter book's quality, but I bet that it would hold up.....
Also you might want to check out the Dark Sun: Burnt World of Athas site. They might have some stuff like conversions or something...i don't know for sure though.

Let's see here. The Wizards web site has a pretty good section on psionics, called The Mind's Eye. Check it out at http://www.wizards.com/dnd/archive.asp?x=dnd/psi,3
There's the stuff from Fiery Dragon, as a previous poster mentioned. Haven't read either of 'em myself, though I'm looking for a copy of the Psionics Toolkit. I've heard good things about that one.
Mongoose is coming out with both the Quintessential Psychic Warrior and the Quintessential Psion, though they're down the road a bit. In my experience, Mongoose's stuff varies quite a bit in quality, so I'd look through it before you buy it. In this case, I'd say author is more important than the company.
Looking around the web for 3e Dark Sun resources will produce some material on psionics. I'd start at http://www.athas.org/ and go from there.
That's really all the stuff I can think of. I'm sure there's more, but that's all I've ever seen or heard of.

Fiery Dragons Psionic's toolkit is a bit of a grab-bag. It was basically put together to help DM's figure out ways to fit Psionics into the campaign, and it does that admirably. It also has a fair selectrion of interesting PrC, monsters and items. But if you've already got Psionics fairly well integrated into your world, the randomness (probably not the right word for it) of the approach may be a bit of a let down.
Of sound mind is just a great adventure. Love it. But I'm already pimping Piratecat's work in one thread today, so I'll leave it at that.
There's also some interesting prestige classes in Ambients Lieber Equitas 2.

Relics and Rituals 2 DOES have some psi stuff in it. Some of it is a repeat as SS adopts ITCK's Psion varient class as their own for offical SL games.
Some of it is new, such as optional fatigue rules to help balance out the fact that few SL challenges have defense against psionics. The other stuff is fluff which introduces the idea of an extinct race that used to use psionics and has left a few ruins and psionic artifact around, including a virus that give psionic powers and dowloads the ancient race's own language into the victim.
To recap ITCK's highlights:
* "Converts" PHB spells into psionic powers. IMO, this was the most coolest and disppointing part. It is great that now psions have a large library of powers, the bad part was that Bruce basicly did a search and replace on psionic manifstations for spell componets and assigned disiplines to the spells. The levels stayed the same.
*The print edition has not only the varient psion, but also the varient PrCs of the PsiHB. The biggest and best change? "+1 manifester level" instead of restarting the displine chart again.
*Trading PP for Scaling damage. Very cool if you don't have Chain Link in your game.
*The Colorless Adpet class, gesalt baby!
