    As I recall, Star Office is no longer a freeware item. You have to purchase
    it from the main web site, place the downloaded tarball in your distfiles
    directory and then re-run make to patch it properly for fbsd. The last time
    I looked into purchasing it was when it was still 6.0 and it was $75.00 per
    copy.
