You can use OOo without X11 only, when you've downloaded NeoOffice.
When
you have the "original" OOo, you have to use X11.
As far as I know, there are some developers working on a port to the
native system of MacOS X. But for knowing more about this topic, you
should ask on the french list (as many of the developers are french
people) or have a look at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hope, this helps you.

The current build of OOo 2 downloadable from the OOo site is a November
build and
still fires up X-11. I tried it and found one problem that is a deal
breaker for me. It won't
open files on my Samba server except as read only and won't save files
to the server
at all. Local files do not seem to be a problem.
So I either use the older version OOo or NeoOffice/J on my Mac. There
is full file
compatibility between OOo and NeoOffice/J across
Mac/Linux/Unix/Windows. The
older versions of OOo for Mac and NeoOffice/J do not at this time
handle the new
Open Document Format that OOo 2 handles as its default native file
format. But OOo
2 can still read and write the older format.
