Seeking approval for ports commit in editors/openoffice.org-2.0

Hi

There is a bug in editors/openoffice.org-2.0 that breaks compilation 
with one of the supported knobs (WITHOUT_MOZILLA=yes) [1]. It has been 
confirmed upstream [2] and a patch is available [3].

It appears that many folks who compile OOo from ports specify 
WITHOUT_MOZILLA=yes and so, the port does not build for them. My 
question therefore is whether it's OK to commit the patch to 
editors/openoffice.org-2.0 during the ports freeze in order to unbreak 
the port ASAP. Since this is a build issue only, no portrevision bump is 
necessary.

Of course, the breakage did not show up on the builds cluster because 
the cluster does not specify any knobs. But it's still an issue for 
people who compile on their own.
