When the build passes through module instsetoo_native it leaves an assembled installation set there (instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/rpm/install/en-US or similar), building by default the package format that is native for your platform (rpm, deb, Windows msi, ...). So, you can either pick these and install them, or, if you want a quick way of running an OOo installation without "installing it with the system," you can "cd instsetoo_native/util && dmake openoffice_en-US.archive" to build a tar.gz (underneath instsetoo_native/unxlngi6.pro/OpenOffice/archive/install/en-US) that you can unpack and run anywhere. (Its user installation by default would share any existing OOo user installation at ~/.openoffice.org, you can change that by setting UserInstallation in openoffice.org/3/program/bootstraprc to an absolute file *URL*, file:///...)
