The Tiger version works fine under Leopard, but be aware that X11 in Leopard is a bit of a mess right now so make sure you have the most up-to-date patch:

NeoOffice is a very nice port of OOo 2.2, but keep in mind that it is NOT an official OOo release. The developers advise it is under continual development. Still, if you don't want to mess around with X11, it is very nice, but keep in mind if you use it you will need to get support from the Neo forums, not here. NeoOffice is at www.neooffice.org.

One of these days we will see a version of OOo that works directly in the Mac OS interface (aka Aqua) like Neo. Right now, there is an alpha release for inspection--be sure to read the warnings carefully before downloading:

If you really want to get fancy, you could always run a Linux or Windows partition or virtual machine on your Mac and use the release versions of OOo under those options. I have XP and Ubuntu as VMs on my iMac, and have the versions of OOo to go along with them.

Lots of options for Mac users who want to run OOo or something inspired by it.
