The setup script uses "test" to calculate the current directory,
so it can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to find the shared libraries, so it's
not surprising that you don't get any further without it.

Assuming that you already have the suse_* packages installed, try
duplicating the whole directory somewhere convenient, e.g.

 pax -r -w -pe /cdrom/linux/office52 /usr/pkg/emul/linux/opt/

and patching the setup script so it knows where to find NetBSD's
"test", as follows

 # resolve installation directory
 sd_platform=`uname -s`
 case $sd_platform in
 	SCO_SV) test=/bin/test     ;;
+	NetBSD) test=/bin/test     ;;
 	*)      test=/usr/bin/test ;;
 esac
 
 sd_cwd="`pwd`"

My setup's a little different (I unpacked the rpm from the
Linux-Mandrake CD, and modified the "program/soffice" script), so no
doubt you'll have to apply that "patch" by hand, and you may have to
modify program/soffice, as well.
