Unfortunately, it's not "quite there" for OS X. :/

An OS/X version (fork) of OOO is available that uses the Aqua interface, as opposed to the main branch of OOO which requires X.11 (which is just plain ugly and dificult to use). NeoOffice, from http://www.neooffice.org, is stable, but a bit slower than the main branch of OOO.

There's a cost to download a compiled version prior, but the source code is available for free and can be compiled relatively easy. There are also innumerable pre-compiled binaries available on other sites.

The upstream OpenOffice.org has made significant progress on the native Aqua look-and-feel for Mac users. It does it without Java unlike NeoOffice, but NeoOffice is further along. You can read some news and see some screenshots in Eric Bachard's blog:
