Openoffice install from ports

Hello,

I recently uninstalled an older version of openoffice in order to upgrade ... I've followed the patching instructions on http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ but still cannot get past the port message "type make -DBROKEN for more information"; or something to that effect.  I've also tried pkg_add -r openoffice but when I try to startup after install it complains that openoffice is missing an installation and setup script.   

Am I missing something simple? Any help would be appreciated ... I should also note that I am not really keen on upgrading to 5.3 just yet ... but perhaps it is time ...

Many thanks in advance, 

Cam
