I ran into the same issues....also tried copying 'setup.ins' to proper 
directory....even copied my 'setup.ins' from my Linux 
partition.....nothing worked, got the same errors you did.  So......when 
ports don't compile, go for the next best thing....packages!  I found 
what I needed here:

http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/

I downloaded the "openoffice-1.0.1_2.tbz2" for STABLE (built on FBSD 
4.6) and it installed without a hitch (note, though, that the file is in 
".tbz2" format, not ".tgz", making it about 10% smaller).  Once 
installed, I just ran 'setup' as a local user, which put the user files 
into my home directory, and now I have everything working in FreeBSD 
that I have in Linux.  And it's all running a lot faster!  ;-)
