It would not have the .tgz at the end.

I don't think 4.11 package will it actually work anymore. And the package
from http://gobsd.com/packages/Latest/ is over half a year old. The
only option left is to compile it your self from ports or pkgsrc.

Because its already installed. `pkg_delete openoffice-1.1.4.20041101_1` 
to delete it.
