You can install linux emulation via the ports,
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base
that will give you a Red Hat-like linux environment in /compat/linux.
You'd also need a kernel compatibility module, or a kernel
compiled with the option LINUX.
I don't know whether StarOffice will work out of the box.  Quite
likely will.
