Yes. Install it in the MS Word application itself. To do this, open Word
in Font DA Mover (to open anything but suitcases/System, you have to hold
down OPTION while hitting the Open button), open the Word Finder suitcase,
and copy it across. I haven't tried running Font DA mover under 7, but I
did this previously, and it still works.

This may work for other DAs not happy with the new regime (I haven't tried
any).

Maybe there's life in Font DA Mover for a while yet...
