There's a citrix_ica client (linux binary) in the ports that will work for FreeBSD with linux binary compatibility on. And there's also rdesktop which should do the same, also available in the ports tree. > We also have lots of files and documents on network shares....

Use smbfs to mount those shares (you need to compile a kernel to support it, see LINT, and userland utils -- also in the ports tree), then you can use any GUI file manager to browse those mounts (Konquerer or mc). StarOffice/OpenOffice would do for Office docs. I personally am waiting eagerly for 6.0 to be released.
