   Does TeX available from wherever it is available support Postscript?
	   (I pretty sure the answer is yes, but I better ask!)

Yes.  There are a large number of DVI to PostScript translators
floating around.  The tex82 distribution includes a "dvialw" (DVI to
Apple LaserWriter) which is what we are mostly using just now.  Your
mileage may vary, so try a few and see which works best for you.

   Has anyone ported TeX to AOS?

The "port" basically consists of typing "make".   No worries.
