Hello
    You will want to install from the ports collection. To change to the 
directory /usr/ports/editors/staroffice52 (I am assuming you have 
version 5.2, if you have version older then that look at staroffice5) 
You will need to copy the following files into the directory 
/usr/ports/distfiles:
  so-5_2-ga-bin-linux-en.bin
  109939-03.tar.Z
The second file is a patch which is a 40MB patch file, you can download 
it from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/editors/staroffice52
This is the best method for installing, It does a lot of the work for 
you. You can install it using linux rpm or just the standard routine. 
For rpm,
# /compat/linux/bin/bash
# rpm -ivh <the rpm file>

Read the pkg-message files in the staroffice dir.
good luck
