openoffice-1.1 explicitly depends on jdk14 -- whatever it was that was
complaining about jdk13 must have been a dependency -- perhaps
apache-ant?

OO isn't going to work without jdk14 so I'm afraid you're going to
have to re-install that.  Make sure that you list

   /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/java # FREEBSD-JDK1.4.2

on the first line of /usr/local/etc/javavms, and you might try setting:

    JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.4.2

in your environment.  That should convince everything java-ish to use
the jdk14 stuff.

On the whole though, compiling OO is a real pig of a job, and most
people are better off just downloading a pre-compiled package from
http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/

	Cheers,
