So, it does work, and I managed to kludge together an lpd emulator on macOS, so I can even print! But: StarOffice 5.1 requires a registration, which of course is not available anymore. After 30 days this will be non functional...
...but it seems there was a StarOffice 5.1a by SUN Microsystems, which removed the need for registration. Yay!
And for printing on macOS, I set up a network printer in SuSE pointing to the host machine. SuSE 5.2 only supports lpd style printing, and macOS Tahoe does not support that anymore, so here is a small Python lpd emulator:

And now we can code Motif X11 programs! I think we will have a new Let's Code series coming up.
