I personally enjoy working on Apache OpenOffice's FreeBSD port and I am glad about having both suites available, but eevn though they are very similar I am not interested in maintaining LibreOffice; not even if I got paid to do it. What people should realize is that maintaining such big packages is difficult and the issue is ultimately not money: if there is no interest from developers and porters to spend (a lot of) time on it no one will do it.
