One or two people have expressed interest in using a port. One or two people
have previously said they''d help out if one was started but I
don''t think
it''s actually underway (not yet, anyhow).
I also checked through the OpenBSD kernel mailing lists a while ago but there
wasn''t much enthusiasm there.
For anyone starting a port, the code in the other BSD ports might be a useful
thing to a look at, although the concensus last time this came up was that
the BSDs have diverged too far for reusing this code to be a matter of
"drop
it in and run" in this case.

Yup, I think it''d be a really nice thing to have, allowing OpenBSD to
leverage
device drivers of other OSes in a sandboxed fashion, and to allow other OSes
to run OpenBSD-based services.
Another thing I''d *love* to see is a port of DragonflyBSD.
I''ve heard more
positive noises about the potential to reuse code from the FreeBSD port here.
