when i've ran openoffice from OSX/XFree86 i usually just opened an xterm 
then ran the app, it should be a bit quicker than running a 
windowmanager ontop of Quartz or whatever it's called.   this was with 
10.2.x releases tho, i'm not sure how it's setup now with 10.3.x
    but yes, gnome/sawfish/kde/windowmaker/etc. are pretty much all 
avail.  i use fink (fink.sf.net) altho i know other people that like 
darwinports (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/).
