Hi!

I build my FreeBSD stuff from this git repository (FreeBSD is in the r14.0.x branch, not master): https://anonymous@.../scm/git/tde-packaging

There's also a openbsd folder in there, but that says "14.0.0". I suggest you just clone the repository and try to build on OpenBSD. No matter if it fails or not, please come back here and post your findings :-)
