I've browsed a bit through it... and to me Imath looks somewhat similar 
to preview-latex (http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex).

Maybe if Axioms TeX output is rendered via preview-latex it would give 
the same result. (Sorry, I have no idea how to do this.)

And another remark... Many of us are (X)Emacs users, but you cannot 
expect from an ordinary Axiom User to know all the Emacs stuff. So we 
should not force users to learn Emacs if they just want to use Axiom.
