Yes, there is a 'libspreadsheet' that embodies the majority of
gnumeric.  It's used in 'ssconvert' and 'ssindex', as well as the
main application.  It still requires linking to gui libraries like
gtk+, but it is smart enough to run headless.

At this point it is not considered API stable but the headers are
installed as part of the 1.7.x development series.
