LaTeX is not a program, but a set of macros compiled by TeX (to be
correct: by an instance of TeX called: virtex(1)) to speed things up.
All in all TeX is a compiler.
The "program" latex(1) is just TeX but using argv[0] to load the
precompiled macros. The same goes for all other set of macros. tex(1) is
just the name of TeX used with D.E. Knuth's set of macros: plain if the
result passes the TRIP test. (which kerTeX passes.)
There are explanations on how to use LaTeX with kerTeX in the README
document (resp. LISEZ.MOI for french speaking people).
Cheers,
