I did some initial research on this. It seems that .pages ect formats work in the same way as ODF formats in the fact they are some form of compressed archive. I was able to explore them through a archive such as 7zip. On Thu, 23 May 2013, at 01:07 PM, Tom Davies wrote:
Hi :) Thanks Alex! I guess we would rather have devs working on more widely used stuff. It's always possible to put these ideas forwards possibly for Extensions and just see if that sparks a new dev into working on LibreOffice. I was wondering if there was already an Extension for OpenOffice or something lurking around some long forgotten corner of the internet but i guess the original poster would have already tried googling for that sort of thing. I found the link that i keep losing http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/about/ but if Apple are no longer supporting their own formats then i doubt anyone else will be keen to!

The topics for this year have been selected already.Seriously, I doubt that anyone is going to volunteer to provide Claris or Appleworks support. These are old binary formats. Now, Pages/Numbers/Keynote support might interest more people, but for that you would need a Mac developer with some serious time on his/her hands and at the moment there aren't many floating around in this project. To my knowledge, not even other apps on OSX can open the Pages/Numbers/Keynote files. One would have thought that if the problem of interoperability with these formats was that acute, then some bright Mac spark would have developed an app that could do just that, convert them to something more useful.
