Not yet.  (Jonathan Chambers, please correct me if I'm wrong. :-)

Interacting with MS Office on Windows requires COM Interop support,
which is still a work-in-progress.

Jonathan Chambers is working on it, and could give a more complete
answer.

As for Mac, I believe the normal IPC mechanism is AppleScript, and I
haven't heard of an AppleScript provider for Mono yet, so this looks
less likely...
