I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you really want to add yourself to the wheel group, not sudo. This isn't Linux, and there is no sudo group by default. For some reason Linux distros discarded the traditional wheel group years ago. On OpenBSD wheel is used like the sudo group, among other things. You may also want to read the sudoers file. Just reading it will clue you in this. And then go ahead and edit it.
