It's all in the tarballs, but you can always rm stuff you don't need.
hmmm ... there was a rather large list of stuff that could be removed
without breaking the system at http://stripped-open.bsdpeople.com, but
bsdpeople.com looks a bit funked :(
Of course, the pkgs assume a complete base system, so you might need to
so some homework (or trial and error;) before removing stuff at will.

Sure, as an ext2fs ... you just need to edit /etc/fstab (and I think /home
needs to be a *real* partition, but it's been a while since I've had OBSD
and Linux on the same machine) ... as long as programs that have ~/.dotfiles
are the same version on both, or at least have compatable ~/.dotfiles. And
what KBob said about shell script compatability.
The bonus of having *BSD and Linux on the same machine is *BSD's
COMPAT_LINUX. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=comapt_linux
