The best open source program that I have found to replace MS Publisher is "Scribus" 
(http://www.scribus.net).
The program works with many operating systems as shown on the download page 
(http://www.scribus.net/downloads/stable-branch/)

The current stable version (1.4x) does not directly support importing Publisher docs but there is a 
workaround. http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Import_Publisher_to_Scribus.

Version 1.5 will include an import filter fro Publisher.

Hope this helps
