With the latest WPKG release candidate this can be done:

<install cmd='msiexec /passive /package "%SOFTWARE%\libreoffice\libreoffice34.msi" ...'>
  <condition>
    <check type="logical" condition="not">
      <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%INSTALL_DIR%\soffice.exe" value="3.3.9556.500" />
    </check>
  </condition>
</install>

Or:

<package id="libreoffice" >
  <condition>
    <check type="logical" condition="not">
      <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%INSTALL_DIR%\soffice.exe" value="3.3.9556.500" />
    </check>
  </condition>
</package />
