G.Roderick:

It is not a failure on the part of OpenOffice.org to support Chinese
languages (be it Big-5 or Simple), but a failure of the X11 interface
from Apple for Mac OS X.  X11, out-of-the-box, will not support
multi-byte languages.  I passed this to the Mac OS X porting mail list
as there is a possible solution to this situation and to get the
Japanese Mac OS X team involved.
