It's time to bite the bullet. My 1.3 GHz Pentium-M Notebook just
can't keep up with the port building. I need OpenOffice and stuff and

Do I understand that correctly if I run 8.0 release I get to have
prebuilt binaries as recognized by portupgrade?
Well, 8-release or 8-stable should both be fine for this purpose, for
most packages, with portupgrade or portmaster. My understanding is
that we've given up trying to produce packages for openoffice on all
branches.
Are you saying there are binary packages for 8-stable?
I thought I can only have them for -RELEASE?
What happens to the minor security updates? Can I follow TRELENG_8_0
and port portsupgrade recognize this as something that uses 8-release
binary packages?
RELENG_8_0 is _exactly_ 8.0-RELEASE, and will never change. If you
want 8-stable, RELENG_8 is the way to go. Otherwise you will need to
update the tag each time a new security branch is created.
RELENG_8 will lift be out of binary ports, at least as far as
portupgrade is concerned.
RELENG_8_0 will have emergency fixes AFAIK and I was hoping that I
could run that and make portupgrade to the right thing (recognize the
binary packages a insert them appropriately).
If we have binary packages for 8-stable and/or if I can coerce
portupgrade to use 8-release packages on 8-stable that would be fine,
too.

Have a look at porting.openoffice.org/freebsd .
You will find something that works for you.
