One possibility would be to use "jfor", a XSL-FO-to-RTF converter at:
http://www.jfor.org
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfor
Sourceforge lists it as "alpha" quality. I've never used it, so I cannot
attest to its stability or results--I've just heard about it.
So, the workflow would be to modify the DocBook XSL-FO stylesheets to meet
the APA formatting requirements, transform the DocBook to FO, and use
jfor to transform the FO to RTF. However, as an alpha-level tool,
obviously, this may be fraught with peril. ;-) Modifying the stylesheets
would also require learning some XSLT and FO.
