If this file exists, several things will happen:
1. The port will be ignored for all purposes, including
dependency updates, if there is no directory for it in
/usr/ports, and there is no entry for it in /usr/ports/MOVED.
If the -v option is used, the fact that the port is being
ignored will be mentioned.
2. If using the
-L option, and a new version exists, the existence of the
+IGNOREME file will be mentioned.
3. If you do a regular update of the port, or if the
-a option is being used, you will be asked if you want to
update the port anyway; unless the -u option is being used, in
which case the port will be ignored.
So,
touch /var/db/pkg/openoffice.org-XXXX/+IGNOREME
would do the trick.
