This is worded so as to make the reader think that the preferred way to 
get Open/LibreOffice is from the upstream site, not the Ports collection. 
Given that neither provides precompiled FreeBSD binaries, that seems 
unlikely to be the case.

Perhaps "Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are both available from the 
&os; Ports Collection, which also includes a variety of text editors, 
spreadsheets, and drawing programs."?
