I actually tried this just the other day, using pkg_add to install the 32bit 
OOo. There were no errors during the pkg_add, but when I try to configure:

$ /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.5/setup
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libsal.so.3" not found, required by 
"javaldx"
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libsb645fi.so" not found, required by 
"setup.bin"

I haven't really had time to investigate this further though.
