OpenOffice available?

LibreOffice is now the defacto standard free office application, I would 
say. It forked from OpenOffice a while back, and whilst OpenOffice is 
largely in decline, LibreOffice is far from it. For the reasons why, ask 
your favourite search engine.

https://www.libreoffice.org/

Not sure why though you are looking for a port, for either, from 
MacPorts ? What benefit do you expect from just using the installer from 
the above link. LibreOffice would be a huge build, so whilst presumably 
possible (linux distributions do it) a lot of work for someone for what 
I could see to be minimal gains...
