Yes.

That is http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11831 upstream.

Comment on this from upstreams bugtracker where I filed

[...] But manually duplex is already possible, at least in Writer. In the print
dialog click on "Options". There you can check only "right pages" or "left
pages". Depending how your printer takes the sheet from the stack it might be
necessary to turn the stack and/or check "reversed" in addition for the second
turn. If the number of pages is not even you have to remove the last sheet
before turning the stack.
