I've haven't had any trouble building and running openoffice since the
3.2 import.  I had to add the following kernel options:

options         DISABLE_PSE
options         DISABLE_PG_G

because I was seeing memory corruption after the system had been in use
for a while.  If I ran a number of "make buildworld" runs one after
another, I'd start seeing compile errors after about five or six
buildworld runs.  I never saw any kernel panics either with or without
these options, ether doing system rebuilds or building openoffice.

I last cvsup'ed and rebuilt the system about three days ago.  Since
then, the only problems I've had are a few warnings about lock order
reversals and kernel malloc calls with locks held, and some problems
that the DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS option found in the nfs client code.

Just a thought ... What type of disks are you using?  I'm running SCSI
here.
