Beware that only Vis-EG PCI is supported by parisc-linux
on that box.

Under debian, 95% of the packages build on nearly every CPU architecture.
See http://buildd.debian.org/stats/.

In general, you should look for packages in "testing" here:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
kword is available though I've never used it.
I'm not aware of anyone trying to run an IA32 emulator on parisc-linux.
gimp and gqview seem to work. Not sure what's availble
for video (eg mpeg) editing.
