That just means that the USE flag, i.e. the ability to choose, is
disabled. Unless you select the no-multilib profile, you always get
multilib. Same for the x86 assembler flags: If there is x86_64
assembler, it will be used in any case.

That for, you need also all the libs which openoffice depends on. Doing
this with portage will horribly mess up your system for now, because
portage lacks the ability to differenciate 32bit and 64bit libraries.
Better you wait for openoffice-2.0 which also runs native on amd64, IIRC.
