   only way I found to do it was manually: import each LaTex file as ASCII text 
   into WP and then strip out all of the LaTeX commands while adding the right 
   WP formatting.  

   Boring, tedious, mind-numbing, uncreative,...

   If you hear of anything better, drop me a line (I still know some poor S.O.B.s

There are utilities to strip latex commands from latex files.
Alternatively, generate the dvi file, then use dvi2tty to get
ASCII formatted text in approximately the right format.
Would probably be a heck of a lot easier than recreating the
format altogether.
