Hi,
I don't understand the relationship between TeXmacs and Aspell at
hyphenation point of view.
We use Aspell only for spell checking.
As far as hyphenation is concerned, it is done in
src/System/Language/, using LaTeX dictionaries. You may look at
language.hpp and (I guess) dramatically decrease the value of HYPH_STD
in order to make hyphenation more easy. But I don't think this will
suffice to make "compact" paragraphs (you probably have to tweak
inter-word spacing for this purpose).
My two cents.

Keep up the good work, and thank you for this great word processor,
