Alterntively, set openoffice to be held in pkgtools.conf 
in /usr/local/etc.  I have added the following line:  

HOLD_PKGS = ['openoffice-*']

This entry will prevent portupgrade attempting to upgrade the port.  

If you are using portmanager see this thread to see how to avoid 
portmanager attempting to upgrade a held port:

Hope this helps
