I've commited myself (and a machine) to a native FreeBSD
implementation of OpenOffice.  I was just checking if there was already a
project underway.  I don't necessarily want to overlap some other
project.

That being said, I believe it might be more benificial to work
within OpenOffice.org, rather than within the ports collection.  If
I can get changes into the main source tree, (and I've already
received an offer to commit there) then the port at FreeBSD level
should be trivial (-DFreeBSD in the CFLAGS).

I'll be in touch as stuff starts to come together.
