Has anybody been able to build OpenOffice 1.0.0 under NetBSD (any
architecture other than sparc)?

The sources are available via links from
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/download.html.

The build procedure for Linux is rather vaguely documented at
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_linux.html.

Build instructions for NetBSD/sparc can be found at
http://www.fs.tum.de/~mrauch/OpenOffice/source.html.  Despite the
heading at the top of the page which says "Building OpenOffice.org under
NetBSD", this page seems to be specific to NetBSD/sparc.  Also, the
set_soenv.1 script in the config_office directory seems to assume that
NetBSD/sparc is the only NetBSD architecture.
