Yes, this is missing for the moment.
You may put this one on our wish list at Savannah for reminder.
I also miss this future from time to time, but it has never been
a major handicap yet for me.

TeXmacs already uses the hyphenation algorithm from TeX.
Aspell is only used for spell checking and unrelated to hyphenation.
Other spell checkers might be used if someone is willing to write
the corresponding plug-ins.  Max wrote one for the default
spell checker under MacOS.
