Porky,

fly-spell is a wrapper around ispell-mode for checking
the spelling of each word as the cursor moves off it.
ispell-mode can use any spell check program that is
compatible with ispell; Aspell and hunspell are commonly used.
This is done by setting ispell-prog-name.

Flyspell also has flyspell-prog-mode. This uses information
from the major-mode to indicate where the strings and
comments are, and only flyspells them. If ispell-comments-and-strings
works in LaTeX mode, then flyspell-prog-mode should work.
(I've never used LaTeX, so can't say for sure).

HTH,
