No, I use my own stuff, riding piggyback on D.E. Knuth's plain macros.

But the scheme is always the same. So look at the post-install script
(conf/KERTEX_T.post-install in kertex_T sources) for the normal case,
and to the notes about LaTeX that has a special bootstrapping process.

As you write, as long as it is just macros (TeX is the engine), it
should work just adjusting the definition of the environment variables
for the paths (or putting the stuff where kerTeX expects them by default
to be).

Cheers,
