Depends on whether libgoffice depends on a specific version of libart or not... probably not and everything should then work fine

Is it possible to specify the repository I want apt-get to use for a specific install? (I suppose I could wget the version I want and then install from the local file.)

Yes it is, IIRC it's called pinning. Can't remember the details, google should help. I'm not sure if this will help in this case though: error message kind of implies a packaging problem: it sounds like the two version are not considered different versions at all, just different packages...

I get the point of "two versions of libart available". In the real world this is going to happen. But how do debian adepts deal with this sort of issue?

By only using compatible repositories...
