I do a 

  (make-variable-buffer-local 'default-input-method)

in my init file and then add

  default-input-method: "TeX"

to the local-variables of the relevant files. (I also give sensible default
values for default-input-method and input-method-history (also made
buffer-local) in my init file.)
