until such time as other packages are made available, you can try what i
have done in the past - installing OO despite having the wrong X server.
this method has been successful for me numerous times:
1) download the pkg for your system
2) pkg_add -f openoffice-[ver]
3) pkgdb -Fu # almost all the xorg/xfree pieces have very similar
names, so selecting the correct dependency is straightforward. only
with XFree86-fontScalable might you have to make a choice between
Type1 or TrueType. both seem to work, but with slightly different
results (i'm not sure which is best and don't much care - but if you
read-up on it, you should be able to figure it out).
4) start openoffice and enjoy.

while xorg is now default on 5.3, what they will do with 4.11 is
unclear (at least to me). either system (xorg/xfree) will work and
both should be available via ports for the forseeable future. in short,
it is a matter of preference (or features) -- and a decision which is
entirely up to you. =]
