If you are only interrested in OOo, you may have a look at 
<ooo>/share/fonts directory
Just copying the fonts will enable them in OOo

You said IPA fonts were not freely distribuable
Nevertheless, wa can add them as a font set inside FontOOo
If we can mirror them, it is better but FontOOo as been designed to 
retreive fonts directly from a web site. The question remains the 
reliability of it

So if you're interrested in adding Japanese fonts in FontOOo repository, 
just tell me
