I tried 5.2, it does seem to like to hang on OpenBSD. 

Then I installed a StarOffice 5.1a rpm.  It installed and runs
without a hitch.  
# rpm --ignorearch --ignoreos --nodep -i StarOffice51a_en.i586.rpm

Be aware that it wants to install a couple hundred meg into /opt.

I have this in /etc/rc.local as well:

if [ -d /proc ]; then
    mount_procfs -o linux /proc /proc
    echo 'mounted /proc'
fi
