Having never actually done it, I think it's more work than that.
AbiWord has been ported to two different OS's completely, both by the
same person, and a third port is making lots of progress. It is my
understanding that the real work is porting the cross-application
framework (located in the src/af/ directories of the source tree)
rather than the dialogs.
Also, what OS are you interested in?
