This looks like the error I was getting, see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126587. The solution was twofold,
first re-emerge the latest hunspell, then emerge openoffice-2.0.2-r2 (not
the r1 you are trying).

That's a bit kludgy. Why not set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to a suitable directory,
either in make.conf or when running the emerge.

Don't forget that MS-Windows is just a temporary workaround until you can
switch to a GNU system.
