See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/ where it is stated:

"The release of Gentoo Linux 2004 will mark a number of important
transitions:

.....

An OpenOffice 1.1 .tbz2 package will be included on all architectures that
are able to support it. Gentoo Linux 1.4 provided an openoffice-bin package
that did not function properly. "

Also see Gentoo Linux 1.4 x86 Maintenance Release 1 notes at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml where it is stated:

"openoffice-bin does not start

The openoffice-bin package in 1.4 for x86 MR1 does not function properly. We
are currently looking into this issue and expect to have openoffice working
properly for our next official release."
