Someone would have to do the work. The linux folk seem to like using little arm boxes as TV boxes. To this end, they put up with the sometimes proprietary and sometimes quirky stuff that passes for framebuffers on various arm boxes. Openbsd isn't really widely used for TV boxes, and so the sorts of things that you need for TV boxes (like framebuffer support on arm) tend not to be as high a priority for OpenBSD developers than other things. Note though that X is a distributed window system where the X server and X clients don't need to run on the same machine. There's no intrinsic reason an armv7 box running openbsd can't run X clients displaying over the network to another system. If you really want X on OpenBSD on an inexpensive box, consider some of the lower-cost lower-power x86 hardware options.
