Don't untar those files. You only need to download the one that you want to install. One is the actual package and the other is the language pack. If you are installing the English version, just download the OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_install_en-US.tbz and type pkg_add OOo_2.0.3_FreeBSD61Intel_install_en-US.tbz . When it finishes, you just type openoffice.org and it will start.
