Yes, you can use

     lattice-tool -write-ngrams (plus options to specify the lattices, 
ngram order etc.)

to compute expected ngrams counts from lattices.   The lattices should 
be in HTK format.  You can then estimate LMs from the expected ngram 
counts (using ngram -float-counts ...).

I have personally used this method to implement the Gauvain et al. 
language recognition method, and it works great.  I'm not sure how well 
it works for other tasks.
