Reviewing the openoffice.org-3 and the openoffice.org-3-RC ports
Makefiles I was able to determine that the openoffice.org-3 port is
for the current release of OpenOffice (3.0.0).  While the
openoffice.org-3-RC port contains a snapshop of the development
version of OpenOffice (3.0.x) that was checked out on SNAPDATE.  The
openoffice.org-3-RC is a snap shot of the next release on the 3.0.x
branch.
