I'd go download the latest OOo11rc3 at 
http://es.openoffice.org/project/www/dev_docs/source/download.html
or perhaps Gentoo has a later version. The rc3 may be replaced with an 
rc4 soon if all goes well and will become the OOo11. 

11b2 had some problems that have been fixed.  
The final version of OOo11 should be up in a few weeks.

Richard.
