Because the projects don't supply binary PPC packages.
Gentoo works with upstream packages and, with the exception of the GRP
and Stage 3 packages for initial installation, does not provide binaries
unless they come fro upstream.
I've been compiling OOo for PPC since 1.1.4, and like you, cannot install
2.0.4 yet. There are some threads on Bugzilla about the various problems
compiling OOo.
I'd use KOffice but I need to be able to save in Word and Excel formats.
