I don't know of any currently supported approach to that, unless you
go a long route with db2html and then html2latex and do a lot of
hand-editing.

But your question might reveal some confusion about the whole TeX
scenario. teTeX is just a TeX distribution that will handle latex and
jadetex quite nicely, as long as you have all the macros installed.

Also, I think that current versions of jadetex are based on top of
latex, for what that's worth.
