Unfortunately the OpenOffice port still insists on installing gcc-3.2 
even on FreeBSD 5.3, where the standard compiler is gcc-3.4.2 based. 
Not only that, but the port drags in some old Mozilla code which somehow 
isn't listed as a distfile of any port but that portaudit throws a 
wobbly about in the middle of compilation unless you tell it to 
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES.  The OpenOffice port really is a bit of a 
monster: non-gurus are strongly advised to install OpenOffice via packages.
