Springbok - there's no reason you can't use a bitmap texture in Illustrator - just create your seamless tile in Photoshop, save it off as a PSD, tiff, or whatever, then bring the file into your Illustrator document. Drag the image into your swatches, then apply that swatch to the surface you want to texturise.
You may wish to B&W-ify the texture so you can fiddle with the colouration in Illy itself - perhaps by adding a mesh with some layer effect over it. Or, perhaps, you might not - I still often find exact colour control of bitmaps a bit more intuitive in Photoshop.
