I don't know of any in C, but if C++ is good enough for you then you could 
look at the ODF parsing and generating classes in KOffice. Of course, some of 
the classes are deeply integrated into the applications, but a lot of the 
code is very general and can be used by anybody.

You can find out more at http://www.koffice.org/developer, and if you want to 
look at the code, just check it out of svn.
