I have not in gschem, but I have in tgif and it is wonderful!  In tgif, 
there is a latex-eq symbol that you can instantiate.  Then edit a 
particular attribute on the symbol, double click it and it runs latex, 
dvips, pstoepsi and pulls in eps for printing and a bitmap for screen 
preview.  You can script a complete rebuild of all latex equation 
instances in a given tgif drawing too so you can batch process a bunch 
of files.  About the only thing I see missing is it would be nice to 
have a "process all out of date latex equation instances but only the 
out of date ones" command.

I'd love to see something similar implemented in gschem.  That ability 
is why I still use tgif for presentation quality schematics or block 
diagrams.
