I've used both RequisitePro ( based on Word Docs) ,   and  DOORS ( based 
on a web interface
to a database but you can generate reports in pseudo-document format )   
in safety-critical
avionics software shops.     Neither tool addressed the problem very 
well,  and some of these
shops had written their own custom RM tools in-house.

If you think about it,  the Requirements should be stored in a text 
format ( e.g. HTML / XML ) so
that you can branch/merge them in Perforce.      If this is acceptable,  
you can likely put together
a system with some programming and open-source tools.    I've worked on 
several of these systems
in the past but none of them are public domain.        Contact me 
off-list if you have more questions.
