As often happens, asking the question got me thinking and I went to FreshPorts to see if I could find some alternatives to Impress that I didn't know about. Found devel/present, which looks promising. Poking around in the workdir, I see there's a gtk-based ppt viewer included. But I'd still like to know if it's possible to install only a few selected components from libreoffice, for the cases where I might need to do more than view an MSOffice file.
