Not necessarily. If there is a dev whose willing to do a port of said filters I would say have fun. I think porting the filters would be a great asset to this project as well as many other office related open source projects.

Start with stuff that /any/ user would see.
My list would start with:
Fulltext search in Help (i.e.<F1>) - that uses lucene and requires java

After that, the wizards (Fax, Letter, ... wizards/autopilots)

Then the xslt based filters (that are using saxxon)

As I mentioned elsewhere, some of the filters (at least the Microsoft
Office 2003 ones) use XSLT 2.0 and saxon is AFAIK the only available
XSLT processor that can process it. So, until this changes, we are stuck
with saxon (and java).
