Indeed!
Although Libreoffice is probably better in the long-run.
NeoOffice was initially developed owing to OpenOffice's dependence on
X11. Now that OpenOffice is
going down the toilet of silly political arguments, the need for
NeoOffice (which never quite managed the
standard of OpenOffice) may have passed. LibreOffice looks very robust.

It also uses X11, which is being depreciated and not included in
future distributions of MacOSX.
While OpenOffice is being somewhat maintained, Ellison's shenanigans
with it at Oracle prompted that community to make a fork called
LibreOffice which has become far more refined, now included with
Ubuntu and many other distros:

I believe LibreOffice runs natively on OS X, without requiring X11.
And speaking of Ellison's shenanigans:
