I think the problem is that the build does take so long and so much
resources that the package updates are a bit scarce. The latest I can
see on the mirrors is openoffice.org-2.3.20070910.tbz which doesnt seem
to fit the numbering scheme for the openoffice.org-2 port but does fit
openoffice.org-2-RC which seems a bit odd. I would probably just get the
latest package from the openoffice package site
(ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.3.0/i386/FreeBSD6)
and upgrade manually. As a 7.0 user I had to build my own which took a
while.
