Theo is, perhaps rightfully so, against importing what is effectively a paravirtualized Solaris kernel into the OpenBSD source code in order to run a file system.

Too sad, because the partitioning of OpenBSD is why i don't use it, with ZFS you could just do a dataset throw x^w,nosuid etc on them and give them a quota, with ffs one can bet that you run out of space (earlier or later), in one of the partitions (Workstation NOT Server).
You can use your own partitioning though? One for /, one for swap. Done.
Yes you can but you cant set stuff lime nosuid etc on /
I doubt it. Even for ports you can still symlink /usr/ports to $HOME/ports, for Scummvm with --enable-all-engines or Eduke32 (Build/GPLv2 license clash, can't be shared as a binary).

/usr/local is not small at all by default.
