Did this emerge actually show that openoffice was being built without 
the "eds" USE flag?  Did you possibly add "eds" to a local 
/etc/portage/package.use file for openoffice that's overriding your 
global USE settings?

The eds USE flag is the root of your problem:

openoffice[eds] requires evolution-data-server, which requires 
libgweather, which requires libsoup[gnome].

Try this:

USE="-eds" emerge -upvtDN openoffice

It should show openoffice being built without the "eds" flag and 
evolution-data-server not included in the dependency tree at all.
