Not sure how you *upgrade* a package via ports, or have I missed the
point?
(You should be able to REBUILD the package from ports, but it would be
the same version.)
So the /usr/ports you get off the CD will match the environment to build
the release packages.
I think I am correct in saying that (currently) ports follow -current?
But if you've installed a release, then follow the stable branch,
your base
is the release. If you try and follow ports, you need to follow
current (I know
this is not 100% true anymore, because there are some stable ports
again.)

So are you trying to build OpenOffice from 4.5 /usr/ports? Or are you
trying to build current /usr/ports on 4.5?
Thanks.
