Well most of KDE is.  But hey, if I come across something that is Linux
only, I try and commit a fix (as does the other "resident FreeBSD nut"
Hans Petter Bieker).  If you've got a post-egcs -CURRENT, KDE && KOffice
should at least compile.

Yes.  And you can find more information about it at
http://koffice.kde.org

It uses XML natively, but there are a few filters included.  It's very
much a work in progress.

http://koffice.kde.org/faq/faq-6.html (KWord in general)

The only downside (besides the fact that it's not even in its alpha
phase), is that it uses MICO, which means that it will take a few hours at
least (on a single PII/450) to compile everything
