Not completely, though -- it would be fairly simple to use (La)TeX to
generate each AVM individually:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{avm}
\begin{document}
\begin{avm}
...
\end{avm}
\end{document}

Then convert the result to a .eps file, and import that file into your
graphical word processor of choice. As far as the short term is concerned,
learning the avm package and the conversion/import process will certainly
take less time than learning all of (La)TeX.

In general, though, those tools which afford the greatest long-term gains
in productivity tend to have the steepest learning curves, and I've never
met anyone who, having put the time in to learn and use (La)TeX, regrets
doing so.
