Jeff,
From the openoffice.org website:
Question: Will OpenOffice.org 1.0 run on OS 9 and earlier operating
systems?
Answer: No, it will not. The current Macintosh porting effort for
OpenOffice.org is targeting Mac OS X v10.1 and higher. There is no
porting team working on support for older operating systems. Because of
the technical differences between OS X and older operating systems and
how they are used in the porting code, older Mac OS releases are
essentially a different operating system for the purposes of the
OpenOffice.org source code. Supporting OS 9 and earlier releases would
require a second porting team to start from scratch. There are no plans
to create an OS 9 porting team at this time.
Personally, when I have needed an office suite for MAC, I use NEO-office
( http://www.neooffice.org/ ) which is a fully open port of Open-office
to native OS X. I'm not sure what exists for earlier versions of MAC
OS. Can you share the specific goal you had in mind? Perhaps we might
be able to suggest an alternate means of reaching it?
