I don't think anybody is working on this.
But there are several VPS companies around (arpnetworks.com is one)
that are OpenBSD friendly.
*If* I want to run a VPS, I rather give my money to a small compmay
that some behemoth.
But note that virtual systems have many drawbacks. Most importantly,
the security of OpenBSD (or any system run on a virtual system) is
bounded by the security of the VM implementation. It's another layer
that could cause security problems.
