Quick answer here.  I did this on 9.1   The problems so to speak I had
were.

If you remove the rpm then use the installer from OOo you lose the menu
entries.

If you don't remove the rpm then 

1.  change the default install directory (during the OOo install
process) frpm /usr/local/OpenOffice to /usr/lib/openoffice  (what MDK
uses) then you have to use drakmenu to repoint the icons in your menu to
the correct launch file for example
/usr/local/lib/openoffice/program/swriter instead of /usr/bin/oowriter. 
But the good news after this small hassle .... it runs really nice
starts a world faster too.
