No official package? That depends how you define official. The OpenOffice page refers you to the FreeBSD ports tree, which I would take as official. Try:
Code:
pkg_add -r openoffice.org-2
In response to those who mention the benefits of compiling it yourself, I will say that I also am a die-hard compiler. However, my current desktop system is fairly dated and there are only 2 things that I use pre-compiled binaries for, which are Firefox and OpenOffice. These are two very-large compiles. Upgrades overnight at one thing, but if I urgently need to install or upgrade for a new feature, a package is the only choice.
