Unless they hack it themselves, it seems unlikely. The Mac offers a Unicode keyboard, but unless an application decides to make it available it won't be active. One of the problems that the Mac Office team faces is that there code makes heavy use of older APIs and it has proven impractical for them to switch to using the newer ones, which hampers their ability to support Unicode.
