I have suscessfully installed TeX from the standard Unix distribution which
is available from june.washington.edu. Watch out for the default for
characters, I can't remember if they are signed or unsigned by default, 
anyway TeX assumes the opposite. You need to make a change in the site.h
file. The place is clearly indicated.

Alternatively there is a packaged system in 4 compressed tar files on
vgr.brl.mil this is compiled and ready. It is a miminal system but does include
a previewer for the Iris.

Russell.
