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.
