Gnumeric doesn't seem to be in the pkgsrc binaries but it's probably
easier to get to compile than OpenOffice. I think it's definitely less
bloaty.
Depending on how fancy the .xls files are, you could try antiexcel (a
perl script, I believe). I think it just outputs text, hopefully
there's a CSV-output option.

Its counterpart, antiword, is available as a binary packages and does a
good job if you don't need to be able to edit .doc files.

Since openoffice doesn't compile out of pkgsrc does anyone know of
something else to use with excel files ?
