The wine port works fine for me. Never tried M$ Office, but
had a success with some complicated software (Counter-Strike
with some networking issues, WarCraft3...)

Make sure you read the wine user's guide and faq.

There's also this linux-winetools port. I haven't tested it a lot,
but it might be able to facilitate your wine experience.

As for full hardware emulation - I tried qemu and bochs on
FreeBSD5.4/i386. Both work flawlessly and quite fast, unlike
the much troublesome vmware ports.
