There are a couple of programs to do this, although very few programmers
(none, as far as I know) actually write large programs on the calculator.
One very old on-calc assembler is AS92, which does require a kernel, and
is available on ticalc.org.  A newer assembler, AS, is also available from
http://darkclem.free.fr/, a site which includes various other nice things
as well such as an on-calc C compiler and text editor.

Of course you could always assemble it yourself and then type in the hex
codes as the argument to exec.

The assembler usually used by assembly programmers for the TI-92 Plus is
A68k, which you can get on ticalc.org.  This generates only object files,
not .9xz files which would be run, so a linker is also needed.  The TI-GCC
development suite, available on ticalc.org, includes not only a C compiler
but also the A68K assembler, linker, and the GNU assembler, which is the
assembler that most C programmers think is best.
