OpenOffice on 9-stable secretly works

OpenOffice-3 does build and install on 9.1-stable
but it kept telling me otherwise.
1) line 128 of the Makefile aborts the build with a "textproc/libexttextcat needs COMPAT_TEXTCAT enabled" message
##- Ignore it, I commented it out and did another "make"
2) OpenOffice then compiled until it produced this message:
"1 module(s):
moz
need(s) to be rebuilt
Reason(s):
ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3/work/aoo-3.4.1/main/moz
When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by running:
build --from moz
*** [do-build] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3."
##- ignoring the "moz" message, my next "make" from the openoffice-3 port directory succeeded.
3) So I decided to do a "make install" which aborted with a message alleging
"===> Installing for libexttextcat-3.4.0
===> Generating temporary packing list
===> Checking if textproc/libexttextcat already installed
===> libexttextcat-3.4.0 is already installed
You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of textproc/libexttextcat
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** [check-already-installed] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/libexttextcat.
*** [install] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/libexttextcat.
*** [lib-depends] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3.
*** [install] Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/editors/openoffice-3."
##- So I did a deinstall of libexttextcat, and then another "make install" of openoffice-3,
which installed without further complaint.
I re-installed libexttextcat, and did the user "openoffice-3.4.1" for a fresh OpenOffice user setup.
It seems to be fine. It is just weird that the port created these three semingly misleading error messages.
