This operation and just about everything else (except for the notorious 
unopkg bug) run well (this morning's cvsup of the ports tree with OO3m9, 
editors/openoffice.org-3 port, on i386 7.1-STABLE world updated in the 
last week, the great xorg move in the last few days etc.)  It could take 
more time to figure out how to get a binary install working than it will 
to build it from ports.  See
