AFAIK there is a patch in preparation that basically can be used to integrate the "converter" into OOo. Using it still would need the converter bits itself but that should be doable. Besides that developers from Sun and Novell are working together on "native" OOo filters for die OOXML formats. Reports about ongoing work and hints where filter milestone builds can be downloaded will pop up on the GullFOSS blogs at times.
