I have used a Mac app called CleanApp << http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp/ >> (now at Ver. 3.4.10 (22) ) which appears to root around in your system and find all (? - I have no way of knowing, actually, but it finds a lot of files, fer sher) related files and then offers you the option of deleting as many (or few) as you wish. With a warning system that suggests which ones you should and shouldn't delete.
Caveat: I have not tried it on OpenOffice, except to "analyze" the code. Careful! Be sure to uncheck your data files, since CleanApp presents them to you as related to OpenOffice as possible candidates for deletion.
