openoffice port is broken wrt gcc and java dependencies

Briefly, the problem is that:

 - openoffice-1.0 unconditionally requires gcc 3.2 from ports, even on
   systems which already have gcc 3.2 or newer in base

 - openoffice-1.0 and openoffice-1.1 use hardcoded paths and hand-
   crafted dependencies on specific Java ports instead of using the
   existing infrastructure to request a compatible Java version and
   obtain JAVA_HOME.

I have previously submitted a patch addressing these issues, with no
apparent result (though it seems the gcc issue has been fixed in
openoffice-1.1).  I've attached a copy of my patch, dated October 23rd
(before the repocopy).  It should still apply (possibly with minor
modifications) to both openoffice-1.0 and openoffice-1.1
