No, I am not a programmer. I can cobble together a pipe on the command line, though, which would presumably (untested) feed Okular a PDF generated by OOo from a .doc file:
$ unoconv -b pdf file.doc > okular %U

I see that unoconv (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/) can use OOo to convert a .doc file to PDF. I see that Okular can display PDF files. As an engineer, I sometimes mistake "has many little gotchas" with "should be relatively simple". I believe that only mathematicians are freed from making that error, however.
