No, there is no Universal Binary version of OpenOffice.org. To produce it would take a long time and take the focus of producing a Native version away. There are tested Intel and Power PC versions available for the Mac. You cannot use the Power PC version on the Intel platform through Rosetta due to the use of Java to support some (but by no means all) functions in OpenOffice.org.
