Package management is key to getting large apps like Open Office ported.

Without package management developers can't pool resources as 
efficiently as with package management, and will be less able to take on 
large projects.

The absence of high-profile ports is less of a reflection of the priorities of 
the
Haiku project than a reflection of the size of the Haiku developer community.
