IIRC, StarOffice 5.0 won't run, because it requires a system call
(clone) that is not emulated by NetBSD. StarOffice 3.1 and 4.0 (without
service pack) should install and run fine on NetBSD/i386 if you modify
the setup script to include "NetBSD" in the case statement checking the
system type (you can just copy and modify the "Linux" case).
BTW, I don't know which Linux emulation libraries you use. I use the
libraries from the "linux_SuSE-5.3" package ...
