I was looking to see if Inkscape would run on these, but the only have 112MB of usable RAM, I think we'd have to significantly focus on memory footprint reduction to make it in there
Another concern would be the small screen size - for example Abiword has a Summer of Code project to create an interface fitting the OLPC screen.
While the demo boxes have a small screen, my understanding was that the final copy is expected to have 1200x800 resolution, which isn't that small (200 dpi I believe). And Abiword works pretty well on my 770, which is 800x400... Odd, but perhaps it can work better!
The project mentioned is as much about simplifying, experimenting, and redesigning the Abiword interface in new ways which might be better for children as it is about fitting it on smaller screens. As you point out a standard copy of abiword fits reasonable well on smaller screens, and has been adapted for smaller screen devices like the Nokia 770 (Maemo).
