You have to download the mass of rpms, then convert them with rpm2tgz, then install them, or you can make them into a single package by using the ROOT= modifier of installpkg, then use makepkg to create a single package. I did this 3 months ago, so the details are a little hazy.
Alien Bob has a slackbuild for 3.3.0.4 on his website. From that you can build libreoffice with any of about a dozen languages. You need a ton of memory to build it
I should have said disk space as well as memory. To build all languages takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 30GB free on disk

I will admit that I trust Alienbob enough to just download his package for libreoffice, compiling this monster on my crappy laptop would be a little painful I suspect. BTW I see en_GB in there. Thanks Eric for all the hard work
