Whoops... Sorry, I guess I spoke to soon -- I only *thought* I had a
FreeTDS-based DSN set up in OpenOffice.  In reality, the only DSNs I have
set up are MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Trying to use a FreeTDS DSN from OpenOffice gives me this error:

   No connection could be established for the URL
   sdbc:odbc:TestDSN.

   Please check the current settings, e.g. user name and password

This is using freetds 0.60.1.  The results are the same using either a
system DSN or a user DSN, and the DSN works fine when used from isql.

So... looks like this doesn't work with the released versions of freetds.
I'll see about trying it with a recent CVS build, maybe things have
improved.
