I personally use R for such things. You need to basically have R.app  
running on already for the shift-cmd-R thing to work, but then it  
does. And for your purposes, you can copy the command and modify it  
so that the output is set to replace selection. (Actually come to  
think of it, that would be a nice addition)
Sorry I am running ahead of myself, I am talking about the command  
used by the "R Console" syntax, that's the one that tries to read the  
output and insert it at the current location. At some point in the  
future this will stop using applescript, and instead rely on  
something like running R in the background at all times, so it will  
be faster.

It will be a bit slow I guess, but I am assuming you are talking  
about computations here and there. Otherwise you'll probably want, if  
you are comfortable with R, to do most of the work there and import  
the results from there into your LaTeX document.
