Microsoft "Microsoft Office isn't among the apps that will run natively on Intel-based Macs - and it won't be until the latter half of 2007, according to media reports. But when it does ship, Office will apparently be missing a feature so vital to cross-platform compatibility that I believe it will be the beginning of the end for the Mac version of the productivity suite."

REAL Software have Office:Mac libraries and objects for use in REALbasic - I'm not sure how the internals work but maybe MS could license that technology instead of starting from scratch. Or maybe REAL themselves could supply an add-in for Office2007:mac. Office becomes far less attractive without VBA, from my perspective.
