http://wvware.sourceforge.net in ports as textproc/wv or textproc/wv2

These are Unix style programs suitable for scripting/automation. 
Otherwise, you can convert most MS formats to HTML using OpenOffice

All of these will aim to produce output that looks almost exactly
like the .doc input, rather than neat, tidy, minimal HTML.

Cheers,

One approach I've had some success with is to take the baroque HTML 
that Word generates and run it through htmltidy. It can strip out all 
the deprecated tags and generate CSS styles for you, giving you both 
the appearance and the maintainability you may need later.
