With TSE, Yes... (Use it with TSE's Atlas)
With TGE, I don't think so...

Terragen can export a height map, that CAN be used in TGE, If I remember right, Terragen exports as a 257x257 raw format, you need to import it into a graphics program and re-export as a 256x256 grayscale .png . Then drop it in the ~\common\editor\heightscripts folder.

I converted DEM's to a format usable by Terragen and then converted to a .png like said above. All this for TGE, haven't tried to with TSE yet.

Yeah I managed to get a Terragen heightmap into TGE using the method Fail66 describes above. You may have to mess about with the terrain height settings in Torque a bit though to make it look right.
