The libreoffice port is using BROKEN in a very wrong way. The
maintainers shouldn't be use BROKEN if one of option is broke. They
are supposed to disable or/and remove that option instead. I have
checked in there and it has two BROKEN in two options that need to be
removed. IE:

----------------------------
-OPTIONS_DEFINE=	CUPS DEBUG GNOME GTK2 GTK3 JAVA KDE4 MERGELIBS MMEDIA PGSQL \
+OPTIONS_DEFINE=	CUPS DEBUG GNOME GTK2 JAVA KDE4 MMEDIA PGSQL \

[...]

-.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MGTK3}
-BROKEN=		requires GTK+ 3.2 and later
-USE_GNOME+=	gtk30 desktopfileutils
-INSTALLS_ICONS=	yes
-CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-gtk3
-.else
+#.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MGTK3}
+#BROKEN=		requires GTK+ 3.2 and later
+#USE_GNOME+=	gtk30 desktopfileutils
+#INSTALLS_ICONS=	yes
+#CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-gtk3
+#.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--disable-gtk3
-.endif
+#.endif

[...]

-.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MMERGELIBS}
-BROKEN=		mergelibs causes runtime problems
-CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-mergelibs
-.else
+#.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MMERGELIBS}
+#BROKEN=		mergelibs causes runtime problems
+#CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-mergelibs
+#.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--disable-mergelibs
-.endif
+#.endif
