Is LibreOffice 4.n broken on i386?

None of my i386 systems (I do not have any 64-bit desktop systems) will
run LibreOffice 4.0.1 or 4.0.2. Both releases dump core within 2 seconds
of launch after displaying the splash screen for less than one second.
LibreOffice 3.6.5_2 runs happily on all of these systems. My 'fix' after
building 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 has been to revert to 3.6.5 (I hacked the
3.6.5_2 port to build with the updated poppler, etc.).

I have three desktop systems that look like this:
  $ sysctl hw | head -n 3
  hw.machine: i386
  hw.model: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
  hw.ncpu: 1

and one notebook which looks like this:
  $ sysctl hw | head -n 3
  hw.machine: i386
  hw.model: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz
  hw.ncpu: 1

All of them run:
  $ uname -opr
  FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p2 i386

LibreOffice 4.0.2 was built from r316005 of the ports tree (which has
editors/libreoffice at r315901) yesterday morning with:
  $ grep _SET /var/db/ports/libreoffice/options
  OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=CUPS
  OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=GTK2

I have no 'CC' overrides anywhere.

The dump appears to be the same for both 4.0.1 and 4.0.2
