No, not at present, as far as I know.  The only PD program going
from a word processing program to TeX is for WordPerfect 5.0.  So
you could pick that up (WP2LATEX, available from the standard
TeX archives) and convert your Word document into WP 5.0 using
one of the many commercially available file conversion 
programs.  

A PCWrite 2.22 -> TeX program was released on the net a few
days ago.  It is simple and useful, if you use PCW 2.2.

The file format of XyWrite (and NotaBene) is very easy to work
with, and in many ways it is similar to (La)TeX.  I find that 
a small set of XyWrite macros is all I need to convert to 
LaTeX.
