Looks like the old version got deinstalled but the new one did not 
install (for whatever reason). Normally, portupgrade should catch this 
kind of situation and manually restore the old version (it creates a 
temporary package for that purpose before deinstalling). There might be 
something wrong with the OpenOffice.org port, but it also looks like 
portupgrade is at least partly at fault.

Try installing the port manually:

cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice.org-1.1
make && make install

[check if everything is OK now]

make clean

Of course, you can give make additional flags to toggle options and/or 
build a localized versions.

PS: Since you'll have to rebuild OpenOffice.org anyway, you might as 
well consider upgrading to 2.0.

PPS: If you don't feel like recompiling from scratch, you can use 
packages from good-day net:

ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/
