capital P will attempt to download and install a package if it can.  This 
seems like what he wanted to do.  lower case p will create a package after 
it's done building

no.  a package is a pckage of just that port/program.  If you use packages 
without having the correct dependencies installed, it wil not install the 
package properly.  My guess is you would want the R, Gary.  I have not tried 
it, but I assume that if you use -RP it will use packages for everything 
including the packages that openoffice needs.
