1. Probably a silly question, but what's OFX? Overseas foreign exchange
rates?
2. It's unlikely that there's one Grand Unified Package that will do all
of this stuff- at least, not as FOSS. There are, however, several very
good packages that you can string together to do some of this stuff.

RBloomberg will import data from the Bloomberg API on any
Bloomberg-enabled machine (though it's got a few bugs- which I know the
author is working very hard on ironing out).

Brian Peterson has a major project called "TradeAnalytics" under
development that you might find useful- refer to an earlier post of his
for details. Once completed, it will likely do most of the things you
need.

There are also the "RQuantlib", "quantmod", and "Rmetrics" suites that
are quite powerful and robust packages for importing data and
calculating derivatives prices. "RQuantlib" takes some getting used to;
it's the R implementation of the open-source C++ "quantlib" package, and
it's not an easy UI- but it adds significant valuation functionality to
R. You might just be able to adapt it to building cashflows.
