Openoffice would be nice, ive used it on Solaris, not on FreeBSD.  Koffice
does do word docs I cant say how well though.

Catdoc  will extract text from word docs, it is in the ports.  Comes with a
viewer too.

As an aside I find it ironic that office v.x for the mac is a better quality
product than ms office for windows.  At least from my use it seems to be.
