One alternative, for production of Word documents, might be to use Pandoc for converting from a lightweight markup language to DOCX. There is no OpenBSD package for Pandoc, and building it OpenBSD can be tricky, but I have succeeded with GHC 7.10.3 (wxallowed has to be enabled on home and tmp). You might still need access to a system with Word, however, for working with document templates, previewing documents, and render some elements such as tables of contents.
