Interesting, I didn't think that was possible. Does this come
with a _separated_ build for all the components that have such
a corresponding package, or is it simply not containing the
binaries for the "other" components?

For example, you could build a whole OO or LO suite and just
have one selected binary installed, but that wouldn't be very
precise regarding the question "Writer only"...

If it would be possible to have the components as separate
ports in FreeBSD it would be helpful for selectively installing
stuff, e. g. if only one or two components of the office suite
are really needed (or allowed!) to be _built_ and installed.
