Richard,
Jeff's got the right idea here. Install StarOffice as root with the network install switch. I think it's something like ./setup /net. The README or INSTALL file will tell you which one. This will run the setup like normal but enable other users to set and run their own copies.
After that, you would log in as each user you want to have run the program and install their copy by running /usr/local/StarOffice/sytem/setup (this probably isn't the exact path but I haven't installed it on the machine I'm woring on right now so I can't double check.) Their copy will only take up 3 or 4 MB in their home directories. I know this works well for a multi-user system because I've done it twice. I havn't tried it across a network.
