From=20the Googling I did on the subject recently there is no official=20
binary packages for OpenOffice available.  It is available in the ports=20
tree.  The following thread:

http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=3D21

on D=C3=A6monForums.org has a link to a site:

ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.4.0/7.0-STABLE/=
amd64/

With binary packages available for various versions of FreeBSD.  Well, the=
=20
thread pointed to the i386 packages, but the amd64 packages were easy=20
enough to find.

I had no trouble installing OpenOffice 3 from ports on my i686 box, other=
=20
than it taking 8+ hours to compile and my PC locked up shortly after it=20
completed.  I thought it had locked up during the compile but eventually=20
discovered that it had completed the install successfully before locking=20
up.  I'm still getting the kinks out of my ZFS tweaks.
