Yes.

First, you can download the UK version of OpenOffice,.org
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

Second, you can set the default language "Tools - Options + Language 
Settings - Languages".

Third, you can download and install additional dictionaries. Just open them, 
as if they were documents, to install.
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries
Warning - there is a recommended maximum of less than 10 to allow OO.o to work 
at a good pace. 

Fourth, you can set a language during a spell check on a document. This allows 
for common French or Spanish words in English usage, or allows for a 
multi-lingual country (Canada, USA, New Zealand).
"Tools - Spelling Check"

Lastly you can set language, on a per word/character basis.
 * Highlight
 * Format - Character", Font Tab
