I kind of expected that question... I'll put it on my todo list. It's 
going to be #143 :)

Yes, that's what I'd assume, but on the other hand OpenOffice seems to be 
very tightly integrated with Java through JNI calls. Doesn't make any 
sense :(

P.S. John, I'll answer your question here to reduce list pollution:
Yes, OpenOffice runs natively on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE. I think it should run 
even on 4.6-RELEASE. I've been trying to build it from ports for the last 
couple of weeks w/o any success, finally cvsup'ed yesterday and it worked!
Some things still crash, but SWriter seems to work.
