If you really want a 64-bit openoffice you can try geki's overlay ( 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-195406.html ). Be warned though, you 
will need Java 1.6 (available from the java-migration-packages overlay), a 
lot of free disk space in /var/tmp/portage, a lot of patience and some luck. 
Also, there are still some problems, it still crashes on me now and then.
