Staroffice and a new version of linux_lib (2.4) has just been updated
into -current. They're both ports and work beautifully !
(pats msmith@freebsd.org on the back)
Check out these:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/editors/staroffice
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/emulators/linux_lib
If there's a port for something, why reinvent the wheel :)
