tex is availabe as an old ISO /n/sources/extra/tex.iso.bz2, this expects
you to have kfs as your main filesystem - but you can fake this with a
couple of binds before running replica/pull.

I installed this image, recompiled it, and pushed it out as a contrib
package steve/tex. I had a look at updating the package to a more curent
version (this source is circa 1998) but it required too mych delving for
an occasional tex user such as myself.

beware, both tex packages are bigger than you might expect.
