Theoretically, you should be able. I don't know what versions exactly you
try to use, but KOffice is in no way dependent on KDE being run in its
entirety.
The KDE sub-menu you can see in RH6 is specific to RH (it's built with a
nice menu-building tool, and I think the updating of this menu depends on
using properly built RPMS - but no sure).

Anyways, once you install KOffice, you should be able to create custom
menu entries pointing to the apps members of the suite by using Gnome's
menu editor. Sorry, I didn't use Gnome enough for knowing exactly how to
do.

Your ego should stay intact :-)
Future KDE and Gnome will use common menu entry files formats, and perhaps
will put these files in common places. But until then you'll perhaps have
to wait a few (6-9) months.
