x11amp. Probably at <URL:http://www.x11amp.org/>, but if not, the 
multimedia mailing list can probably point you at it.

Alternatively,

ports/audio/mpg123-0.59o

ports/audio/xmpeg3

> and software like Adobe Photoshop, 

ports/graphics/gimp1. Oh yeah, prepare to be astounded by that one.

> MS Word, 

ports/editors/staroffice (runs under Linix emulation, can be flaky. Then
again, so is MS Word). Looks and runs like Word on steroids. Also includes
a very nice Excel beater. Also available for Windows. Reads/writes Word
format files.

ports/editors/offix-editor. Don't know what it's like.

ports/print/lyx. An almost WYSIWYG frontend for LaTeX. Extraordinarily
powerful.
