You'd need to bolt the .doc import filter out of OpenOffice.org directly onto 
some PostScript or PDF export code.  Somebody may have done this already.

You might have more joy, though, using Hylafax as a shared printer.  Use the 
Apple LaserWriter II driver  (which produces pure PostScript that Hylafax can 
handle natively)  on your Windows boxes.  This way, you will be using MS 
Word's own .doc rendering engine rather than OOo's.
