In the past I have used EDMAC for this precise purpose:

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucgadkw/edmac/


It is a TeX/LaTEX library which works actually pretty well. Maybe one can
think of using:

TEI > XSLT > LaTeX/EDMAC > PDF

I never did it, as I used to write things directly in LaTeX, but I suppose
it should not be that difficult, actually
