In some respects.

Probably, once you install an X server. I don't think there's yet a native
OO.o for OS X. But I'd recommend you look at Abiword and Gnumeric instead.
Both have (IMHO) better long term potential than OO.o.

Remember you'll have to pay for the OS and each upgrade (which you may
end up needing -- Apple recently backed down on refusing to release
security updates for older versions of OS X, but I suspect they'll
try again soon).
