The slides are confusing to me too, another slide [1] states that they will change time_t to be "long long" in a future release so the tagged type will still be there.

I'm also not sure why the OpenBSD people think that there will be lots of problems with ports [2], I'm typing this on a NetBSD system with 64 bit time_t, things that broke have had patches pushed upstream.
