I got OpenOffice working on my 5.2 with the help of a gentleman for the bsdforums who sent me a newer version compiled for 5.2RC2. I didn't want to compile it by myself (time consuming) so it was kind of him to make this available. Worked right out of the box. If you want I can post the file on my webserver so you can download it. Just say the word.
