There looks like there is OpenJava support for openbsd so you should be able to run anything that is based on bitcoinj:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port/ (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port/)

That includes MultiBit or any of the bitcoinj examples if you wanted to roll your own.
Once you have a reasonably modern Java Runtime Environment installed the Linux installer off http://multibit.org (http://multibit.org) should install ok.

Wouldn't it be possible to compile bitcoind for OpenBSD? It compiles on Linux; how big can the differences really be between OpenBSD and Linux?

You might even be able to compile Bitcoin-QT, but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for. OpenBSD isn't exactly made to be used as a desktop OS.
