It's very nice isn't it. The Gentoo Desktop developers are great and
mighty.

I would recommend just downloading the latest linux binaries for now.
The openoffice setup program doesn't lend itself to easy scripted
installs and the compile will take you ~24 hours (on a fast machine).
This is the one application that comes close to bringing Gentoo to its
knees
Here's how I installed it.
First, emerge the latest dev-java/blackdown-{jdk,jre} OpenOffice should
automagically detect the blackdown java during setup.
Then, unpack the openoffice binary tarball somewhere convenient, and
cd <somewhere_convenient>/install
As root run,
./setup /net
I would recommend installing to /opt/OpenOffice641
Then as user, run
/opt/OpenOffice641/setup
choose the smaller install.
Doing the initial setup with the "/net", flag will install the bulk of
openoffice in /opt. You can then choose the minimal install for each
user who needs openoffice on the local machine or over your lan. You
could also skip the "/net" flag, but then you would install a full blown
oppenoffice for each user.
Hope that helps
