It looks like original intention was to put icon files into FreeDesktop Hicolor theme directory and I think that that directory is located under ${X11BASE}. Those icons are meant for the KDE integration, so while they certainly could go into the FreeDesktop Hicolor directory, it is fine to put them into a directory where only KDE will find them, such as ${PREFIX}/share/icons/hicolor. However, when doing this, OO.o should depend on the misc/kdehier port, which provides this directory.

Oh, I see. I am not quite familiar with KDE and KDE hier, so I got confused. BTW, it's strange that GNOME uses ${X11BASE}, but KDE uses PREFIX(whichisusually{PREFIX} (which is usually PREFIX(whichisusually{LOCALBASE}), given they are both desktop environments. Also, I think that FreeDesktop stuff was intended to be common for all desktops. But now I am talking beyond my competence and off the topic.
