It will work fine.
Make a system restore point if you want, it's an extra layer of security if something goes wrong.

System Requirements for OpenOffice.org 2 mentions Windows Vista with the parenthetical note: (enhanced Vista integration from version 2.2).  The page for Instructions for Downloading and Installing OpenOffice.org 2.0 also mentions Vista.  

So, I'd say go ahead with your plan.  Create a restore point first and then install it.  Let us know how it goes.

And, if you have a U3 Smart flash drive, you can get a version of OpenOffice for it.
