If one builds libreoffice and one does not use CUPS,
then libreoffice will not print to an lpd/lp printer.
This worked with older versins of this port.  One
can find a thread about this problem at

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user/19782

To fix the problem, the Makefile needs to be changed
with the following patch.  After rebuilding libreoffice
with the patch, I can again print to lpd/lp without
a problem.
