Never mind.
On a hunch I just wiped out everything, moved the entire port directory to
another partition (the original partition didn't have enough room so I'd been
doing this "tricky" manuever using a symlink to put the work space in a
different partition from the actual port directory) and rebuilt from scratch.
That is the *longest* port I've ever built, snatching the title from the
previous record holder (KDE3), but it built and installed flawlessly.
Thanks to the openoffice port folks.
PS: Is is really true that I still must use the Linux JDK? I followed the
advice of the port-message and did so but I wondered if it was really
necessary. Not that I guess there's a big problem with it, just a "general
principle of the thing" issue.
