Is that the case? I see all kinds of useful stuff being added all the time, e.g. the OPTIONS system and other nice features. I'm sure that the ports people will welcome your patches for both the documentation (what exactly is wrong with the porters handbook?) and the ports system. With regards to OOo on AMD64, ISTR some 64bit patches floating around (could be on gentoo's portage) that might be worth investigating. A FreeBSD or Linux openoffice-bin port could be useful in the meantime, I'll give that a shot when I have some time since I have the need to run OO.org on my AMD64 box.
