I am running a not-so-current/macppc on a Macmini. The only hurdle while installing was the discrepancy between what OFW (the macmini firmware) thinks is hd0 and what the OpenBSD installer thinks is hd0. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=135653325832652&w=2 That aside, the installation went smooth as ever, and it runbs just fine.
