Yes, at least the commercial AmigaTeX product from Radical Eye software does include LaTeX in the distribution (though you have to purchase the manual separately -- that's how the author, Leslie Lamport, makes his money on LaTeX). I'm afraid I've never booted it up, since that wasn't the kind of thing for which I bought AmigaTeX, but the rest of the product is high quality, so the chances are good that the LaTeX is similar.
