OpenBSD neither includes nor promotes any non-free software. However, like any unbiased material, it does contain a complete and detailed reference list, called 'ports'. Please note, that there is no automated process about getting ports onto your system. The only thing that the OpenBSD install process can install for you is the base system, which actually happens to have a lot of software in it as it is, from X and apache, to gcc and lynx. So unlike other BSD systems, which heavily depend on you installing both ports and packages for various components of the system, OpenBSD requires neither ports nor packages for the day to day operation.
