I assume you mean the misc/libreoffice4-bin.
Having tried and given up source build for both 5 and 4, and there being
no precompiled package available for either,

Well good point. That too. It's all a matter of perspective, I

I am using NetBSD 7.0 i386.
I do not create documents using office software, but have no control over
people sending those to me. So need a minimal reader for open/MS office
