While 9front (and Plan 9 from Bell Labs, for that matter) does not
ship with tex, the utilities listed above do perform operations on tex
files. What should be the proper way to change these references?

The reference string 'tex(1)' expliticly says there is a section one
manpage of that name, and that's wrong.
I would replace it with a reference to the TUG web site (https://tug.org).

Is there a tex(1) to install?
If desired I can write patches to reword the sentences around the tex(1)
references to imply tex file application.
