After speaking with the FontForge developers, I have learned that KDE Font Viewer will not recognize kerns. OpenOffice, however, will recognize kerns when the "old style kerning" option is used.
Problem resolved: OpenOffice 2.4 simply doesn't support GPOS kerning; KDE Font Viewer doesn't support kerns.
