If your OpenOffice was installed successfully, the next step is to run
setup program (on my FBSD5.3 it is /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/setup), 
which will ask you few questions, and will install local files to your home 
directory.
To launch OpenOffice, you have to type something like

 ~/OpenOffice.org1.1.2/soffice

It is good to create a shorter link to this file.
