I did not see any documentation from OpenOffice about this, but I
remember that with StarOffice I installed it in /usr/local/office (or
whatever name you want to give to that directory) with the /net option.
I did that as root.  Then as user I ran "setup" from that directory and
it created in the user's home directory a small localized file structure
with symlinks to /usr/local/...'s files.

I have tried the same with OpenOffice and it worked in the same way.
