You should be able to install openoffice with
make -DWITHOUT_JAVA install clean
(However, I think openoffice has its own vulnerabilities, but that might
only be the devel version.)
To override the vulnerability (hopefully, you have examined what it is
and decided you can live with it) do
make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES install clean
However, if you install native java-1.4, note that you will have to
install linux-sun-jdk14 first. That one has a pkg-message that you
should read before starting the whole thing.
I have a page that briefly covers it at
http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/FreeBSD5x.html
It doesn't go into all the details of installing java, but gives a few
of the problems, letting you know what to expect. (Though I don't cover
the vulnerability issue, that happened later) :)

the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know.
