Poking around the install directory I found some .desktop files, but they were broken.

As has been pointed out on the freebsd-openoffice mailing list a couple times, the desktop files can be fixed easily. Of course, manual fixing and copying is no viable solution in the long run. Also, icons are not getting installed and there is currently no known way of fixing this. But if you want a short term solution, here it goes:

The .desktop files get installed in:

/usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/share/xdg

You can simply copy this directory to your home:

cp -R /usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/share/xdg ~/.kde/share/applnk

The names of the executables referenced in the .desktop files are not quite correct - you need to fix them. For example, in base.desktop, you need to replace:
"Exec=openoffice.org-2.0 -base %U"

with:
"Exec=openoffice.org-2.0.0 -base %U"

The same pattern applies to all .desktop files except for printeradmin.desktop. Here, the file name is totally borked. It should be "Exec=openoffice.org-2.0.0-spadmin".

PS: Another sign of OpenOffice.org installing not quite properly is that the printer configuration file gets installed with permissions 444, which means that the printer admin can't edit it ;). If you want to fix the permissions, you can find the file here:

/usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/share/psprint/psprint.conf
