I also forgot to write in my response a moment ago (apologies, I've got papers all over my desk and a gazillion things on my mind), I do have on my system (which had the OpenOffice 2.0 installation previously) icu from MacPorts installed, specifically:
$ port installed icu
icu @3.4.1_0+darwin_8 (active)

Apologies that I had not yet followed up to this message I originally authored. In the days since I authored it, I did not upgrade Apple's X11 however I did install a new version of OpenOffice ( 2.1) which became available as a binary from one of the main www.openoffice.org mirrors (not as a MacPort). In doing so, the problem went away. I have still not yet updated to Apple's X11 but I am going to consider doing so early next week. I'm quite concerned if Apple's X11 might in some way interfere with XFree86 because I recall (without looking at the moment at my detailed notes) the set up and configuration of XFree86 via MacPorts was relatively delicate.
