Jade.  It is in the ports collection under textproc.  I'll see
about getting the style sheets available soon.  There are still
some rough edges, but things are to the point that they might be
generally useful.  Look for it by the weekend.

For print output, the best support is for RTF which isn't too
useful in a non-microsoft world.  TeX support is improving.  I
have not tried the latest and greatest set of JadeTeX macros, but
the last version certainly wasn't ready for prime-time.  There
currently isn't any way to get good plain text output short of
using Lynx to dump formatted versions of the HTML files.

Yup.  The differences in DTDs are small.
