That is a patch file.  The port is looking for it in the wrong place, it
should be trying to get it from Sun.  Try the following URL:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-StarOffice&nav=pub-patches

Look for the Linux version and download it.  Then move this to
/usr/ports/distfiles and try the "make all install" again.

Hope this helps.
