I don't know how big openoffice is, but I believe that it might possibly 
use over the ~70M free on /var, especially if it's also fetching some 
dependencies. If it is impossible to free up more space in /var, you could 
either:

 (a) move /var/tmp to /usr/tmp and make /var/tmp a symlink
 (b) use the -t option og pkg_add to specify a different temp dir
