StarOffice 5.2 _works_ very well on NetBSD-1.5, it just won't install.

Find a Linux box and install it there, then tar up the complete
StarOffice directory (e. g. /usr/local/office52) and unpack it on the
NetBSD machine, and it should just work. Of course you still need to
have the proper Linux emulation libraries installed.

Be aware that for StarOffice 5.2 even 64 MB of RAM might not be enough
for smooth work. Better to have at least 128. I know this is insane
for an office package, but there it is.
