The manpage for that function says it's supposed to be in libc, and also says:
"The nl_langinfo() function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6."

While I would imagine that you could recompile OpenOffice yourself and get a 
binary that will work-- assuming OO autoconfigures itself whether to use that 
function-- it's almost certainly less effort to upgrade to FreeBSD 4.9, which 
would also move you to a more secure/supported version of the OS.

PS: A few things have changed over the past two years-- /usr/src/UPDATING says 
"20020129: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE"...  :-)
