Maybe you could use:

        .open toc toc.aux
        ...
        .write toc Some Heading\t\n%
        ...
        .close toc

The other possibility would be to tag your TOC entries and
cross-references, use .tm to write out the entire stuff in
one big wad, and have your post-processing script sort it
all out.
