You can go to http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ and download 
openoffice2.0.3 pre-built binaries from there. I would suggest that, rather 
than trying to build it.

You're probably going to need java. I suggest getting the pre-built binary for 
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.00, you can get it here: 
	http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

Try to save yourself as much pain as possible. Building openoffice from ports 
tends to fall in the category of pain.
