I have been providing FreeBSD ports and Jack L. is providing the builds.
In FreeBSD ports tree, we should have vanilla OOo as far as possible.
patches must be minimal. this is my policy.

http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2.0-devel/
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/openoffice.org-2.0/

As you can see - we use epm to pack internally,
but in the port skeleton, we extract files from the packages
and repack.

I also committed ooo-build,
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/ooo-build/
which is slightly(!?) modified version of OOo.

thanks,
