Alternatives for:

OpenOffice.org (works with windows too), KOffice
- ACDSE 5.0, Photoshop. I am not convinced that he edits or creates
images.
GIMP 2.0
- WinRAR and WinZIP
KDE's Ark/command line utils
- WinAMPXMMS is popular, but there are lots of other great ones. Most of them are good. I like Xinf, but I don't use it anymore.
- Virtual CD
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file.iso -u 1 mount_cd9660 /dev/md0 /cdrom1
- Some kind of CD Burner
xcdroast, gnome has support too
- Some DVD Player
Xine, Ogle, Mplayer. All good, Mplayer sucks for DVDs, though
- AC3filter
some command line tool and a few gui apps
- Decoding DVD to AVI (I have no idea why anybody would need this)There is a good GUI app for this, but I forget what it's called. Check ports.
As a note, though. This friend may be better off with a linux distro. FreeBSD is not newbie friendly and lacks certain hardware/software support that linux has. Not having ALSA precludes certain apps from working/working well.
