Not yet, however there is hope. Ximian's Mono will be able to run VB.NET
once it has a complete parser for VB, so that should mean that Gnumeric,
Abiword, and other office-oriented software will be able to run VB macros
(or at least the .NET variants, which will be in use more regularly as MS
releases new versions of Office).
