Please pay attention to the instructions you have been given.
Here they are again in my words.
1) Go to http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/.
2) There are installation instructions on that page in several
languages. Download the language you want (probably English?).
3) Study the instructions. They will tell you what X11 you need for
the Mac you have which should be on your installation CD or DVD.
4) Search for the specified X11 file using the correct Mac utility.
5) Install X11 according to the instructions.
6) Make sure you install OOo according to the instructions.
