EDIT 2012-10-22
You can enable Record Macro as follows:

3.5.x
Menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General
☑ Enable experimental (unstable) features.

3.6.x (see comments)
Menu Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General
☑ Enable macro recording (limited)

EDIT 2012-11-29

4.0.x (LibO-Dev 4.0.0.0.alpha1)
Menu Tools → Options → LibreOffice → Advanced
Optional (unstable) options
☑ Enable macro recording
(see also → Release Notes 4.0)

thanks that made it available. -- could not find this in documentation

Yes, that's pretty hidden: (1) Getting Started with LibreOffice · Chapter 2 · Setting Up LibreOffice, p. 6 → http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/#gs – – (2) fdo#38509 · Meaningless text and missing Help for Options Dialog checkbox "Experimental (unstable) features"

Note that at least from v. 3.6.2 (what I'm looking at now), this dialog includes an "Enable macro recording (limited)" check box. That makes it a little clearer ... but still not easy to find in the first place!
