It is obvious from your message, that you downloaded the X11 user package from the Apple support site. This package is for Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) only and will not work with your Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) nor Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) installations. To install X11 for Tiger, you need to find and insert the Tiger or Installation disk in your optical drive. Once the screen comes up, move to the Optional Packages install area and select it. Navigate through the packages until you find the X11 User package. Select and install this package ONLY. Once the installer completes, you will be able to use OpenOffice.org without any further actions.
