You can probably do something like (untested):

  environment.systemPackages = [
    (import (fetchTarball
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/3b8e2f7e7a69a3a53a0cb8029973055763b6e309.tar.gz)
{}).texlive
  ];

You can also install texlive using nix-env - that way it won't be updated along
with the rest of the system.
