Well - Akonadi is a KDE technology, at least for now, and I doubt that 
Libre/Openoffice has made any efforts yet to adapt to it. Possibly 
Calligra but that was not the question.

Fact remains: your Personal Contacts is a folder with vcard files in it. 
All but Distrbution Lists/Groups should work if you point Libreoffice to 
it and LOffice has a function for vcard folders.

Not irony, just KDE life at this moment in time.
