Actually, when I do what you say, I get
treat portage # emerge -a openoffice-bin
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] app-office/openoffice (is blocking app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.122)
[ebuild N ] app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.122
!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed

I am using gentoo because I want to be able to compile the latest and greatest.
How odd it is that I can only find OpenOffice 1.1.4, where the FedoraCore
machines at my school have had OpenOffice 2.0 all (Summer) term.
I've not done a lot with masked versions, but I do have universe, multiverse and
backports. I see no signs of 2.0.
How can this be, gen-too-ers? Surely, I'm missing something. What did I mess up?

Actually your Fedora boxes weren't
running 2.0 they where running 1.9 which is the beta for 2.0. If you
want to run that on Gentoo you need to add `app-office/openoffice-bin`
to your /etc/portage/package.unmask and `app-office/openoffice-bin
~x86` to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file then emerge
openoffice-bin. You didn't miss a thing, its just hard masked
development. because it's not stable and it does crash often enough but
its well worth the install.
Also as far as I know there is no such thing as universe, multiverse,
and backports gor Gentoo. In any case good luck getting it running,
once you get it unmasked its just as easy as the "real deal" (if you
will).
