There have been two such attempts that I know of.
Heiko Oberdiek's vpe:
<http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/vpe/>
Haven't used it, but his reputation precedes him.

Jerome Laurens' pdfsync is more unofficial (not on CTAN, grrr), but I
believe it's supported in AucTeX these days:
<http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/pdfsync.html>
(It's also got support in a couple of Mac OS X editor/frontends.)

Hope this helps,
Will
