I've done a quick and dirty port of TeX3.0 to the ST (I needed TeX for writing my master thesis). This version needs over 2 megs of physical memory (I have a 4meg ST). This very first port of TeX is available via anonymous ftp from forwiss.uni-passau.de (/archive/atari/tex), but please note that this site is located in Europe and therefore the connection to the US internet is *slow* and *expensive*. But, Bernd Raichle and I plan to port the latest TeX version 3.1 within the next two months. Please, look forward to get this version. This new version will run with 1meg of physical memory and it will include TeX and LateX macros, bibtex, and so on. I'll announce it here if it is available.
