Just checked out the status of the port and it looks like it is broken.

Looks like you've already checked all the things I would have suggested.
One option is to download a package off the OpenOffice.org site and install
that ... the only difficulty there is finding the older dependent packages
and
getting them installed first.
I should really do a "make package" on my setup and submit it to the
OpenOffice.org
folks ...
