That being said, I don’t think we are going to get OpenBSD on the rpi any time soon.

It is a real shame, but OpenBSD as a project care a lot about having free access to all the available code[1]. It makes a lot of sense to me to want access to all of the code for something as core as the boot process.

Of course the project saying they won't support the hardware doesn't mean you cannot start the port yourself. That is how ports to palm devices came about[2]

That’s true, especially with FreeBSD and NetBSD both having ports.
