i'm using 5.3 on the desktop (daily), and i have no problems with it at 
all, but then again i've installed this from a 5.3 RELEASE cdrom,
and that has xorg as default

perhaps you have to reinstall (portupgrade -rf) a few fonts ?

a dirty solution is to press ctrl-c when OOo tries to build, i know from 
experience that portupgrade simply continues with the rest without any 
complaints :)

but i assume in the Makefile (in the OOo-portsdir) one can put an IGNORE 
somewhere
