From <http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/pressfaq_ooo-osx.html#q9> :

Question: Will OpenOffice.org 1.0 run on OS 9 and earlier operating
systems?

Answer: No, it will not. The current Macintosh porting effort for
OpenOffice.org is targeting Mac OS X v10.1 and higher. There is no
porting team working on support for older operating systems. Because
of the technical differences between OS X and older operating systems
and how they are used in the porting code, older Mac OS releases are
essentially a different operating system for the purposes of the
OpenOffice.org source code. Supporting OS 9 and earlier releases would
require a second porting team to start from scratch. There are no
plans to create an OS 9 porting team at this time.
