You can re-install iLife from the DVD, and I would assume you can re-download iWork.

Either that, or you can install iWork from the demo CD that came with iLife. Then just enter your serial number.
You can install iLife and iWork by clicking "Install Bundled Software" on the first restore DVD.
Yup. I just popped in my iMac restore cds and you have the option of just installing bundled software (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, etc). Its a good thing, cause it would have really pissed me off if I installed Leopard and found out I didnt have a way of installing iLife and such 
you wont have to if you upgrade or archive and install. it leaves all your applications and files in place. you only have to reinstall iwork or ilife if you erase and install. to reintsall ilife just put in the install dvd that came with your mac and click on install bundled software only and install ilife
I believe that the demo of iWork is the full program, just that it deactivate after 30 days. I think there will be an iWork demo on the Leopard disc, if not, you still have it on your actual restore DVDs that come with your mac.
Anyway, you should be able to activate full version of iWork with the same serial, key (whatever) Apple gave to you when you purchased it.

It's not really a shame when it only cost $129.00 Even if you put together the iLife 08 suite $79.00 plus Leopard $129 the total cost would be only $208.00 U.S which is still less than the Home Premium version of Vista and Vista HP does not have any business networking tools or drive encryption like Leopard.
one more question...
what if I only want iLife? I don't want Aperture trail, iWork and things like that.. the installer didn't seem to givemme an option
The installer does give you the option. Before the install process begins there's one final screen with an "Customize" button bottom left. There you can pick and choose what you want to install or omit.
