one of the major lacking userspace apps out there is OpenOffice.org, where you've got to install it in 32-bit mode
Unfortunately, that will not change in OS X. Currently there are no plans to port the AppKit, or even the FoundationKit to 64 bit. I believe only libsystem and one other lib (which I forgot) has been ported to 64 bit. Apple is soliciting developer input on what to port.
64 bit apps on Tiger will first be GUI-less background applications, communicating to a 32 bit GUI-front end. The only reason to port things to 64 bit - if I understood the documentation correctly - is to use more than 4 GB of memory in a single process.
On the up side, 32 bit apps run without penalty on 64 bit systems and not in a compatibility mode or such.

With this, I doubt there is a reason to start a 64 bit Mac port of OpenOffice. Then again, I have no brain so I might be wrong.
Happy Coding!
