We generally do a "portupgrade -a" to upgrade ports unless

a dirty solution is to press ctrl-c when OOo tries to build, i know
from experience that portupgrade simply continues with the rest
without any complaints :)
   

Alterntively, set openoffice to be held in pkgtools.conf 
in /usr/local/etc.  I have added the following line:  

HOLD_PKGS = ['openoffice-*']
This entry will prevent portupgrade attempting to upgrade the port.  
 

Ooohh...I think I like this better than the '-x' switch. I'll have to 
give it a wirl.
Thanks,

If you are using portmanager see this thread to see how to avoid 
portmanager attempting to upgrade a held port:

Hope this helps

Portupgrade honours this setting.
but i assume in the Makefile (in the OOo-portsdir) one can put an
IGNORE somewhere
