No, unfortunately it does not although we have discussed this before
on the axiom-devel list.

A LaTeX interface like this is available for Sage and is used on the
Axiom Wiki to produce output from Sage on web pages and in pamphlet
files. See for example:

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/SandBoxSagePamphlet
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AboutSage

Sage in turn can interface with Axiom and so Axiom output can be
produced this way. But something very similar to this that only
generated Axiom output should be quite easy to write. If you are able
to "kludge this up" for Axiom I think that would be great and would be
immediately useful for the Axiom pamphlet files on the wiki.
