Yes.
What I do to hack on OOo is documented here
http://geki.ath.cx/index.php/OpenOffice
Discussion is held at this thread
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-489909.html
Though, this is for ooo-build version of OOo.
If you are interested in this way you may ask questions on that thread, please.

After you did
ebuild /path/to/ebuild compile (hopefully successed)
hack (described on my page) on the source. Then, you switch to ooo-build
directory and run
bin/ooinstall -l <path-to-install-to>
That will link the compiled openoffice to that installation path as if it was a
normal installation.
Finally run this in a new shell to test the development version
cd <path-to-install-to>/program
source ./ooenv
./soffice.bin -writer # for example
Now when you hack again on that one shell you can restart OOo with
'./soffice.bin ...'
in the second shell to see the change.
Take care not to mix up the HOME/.ooo-*/ directory with stable and
development version configuration of OOo. Better use a testuser for
that.
So far, I hope I did not miss or mix up something.
Regards,
Hanno
