As I recall, Star Office is no longer a freeware item. You have to purchase
it from the main web site, place the downloaded tarball in your distfiles
directory and then re-run make to patch it properly for fbsd. The last time
I looked into purchasing it was when it was still 6.0 and it was $75.00 per
copy.
