Gnumeric will open lotus .wk1 files.  Kspread might.  I thought 
OpenOffice.org would also, but I will take your word for it.

If your friend has the ability to do so, suggest that they convert the 
lotus files to .wk1 worksheets or csv files.  All of the linux 
spreadsheets that I know of can handle csv files.
