Pages is Apple's standalone word processor - part of their evolving iWork project, (along with it's sibling Keynote, a superb presentation app that in many ways is superior to PowerPoint, but still has some way to go to match it for versatility).

My feeling is that these two apps, together with an oft-rumored spreadsheet program (they have trademarked the name 'Numbers'), will eventually form the basis of a replacement for the ageing AppleWorks suite. This may take some time however - Apple is walking on eggshells wih this, so as not to p*iss off the Evil Empire - the loss of Office for Mac could cause a lot of damaging fallout for Jobs & Co.
