Fortunately, the pieces you're mentioning are already there.
I haven't looked into koffice yet. One would need to take a closer look at kdelibs and their respective dependencies. These dependencies must be resolved by either porting the libraries or reimplementing their interfaces. For example, if koffice happens to rely on dbus, we would need to find a way to emulate (parts of) the dbus API on Genode.
That said, I think there are quite a few interesting engineering problems to tackle but I see no fundamental road block that would prevent such an endeavour.

Yeah, it would be interesting to hear an explanation ... I mean what would it take to compile something like KOffice under Genode?
