It will, that is what nat was created for, and openbsd with pf does it
handsomely. They won't operate as if they were on the same network
though (broadcast). Which is a security feature, from my point of view.

If you use your openbsd box as the gateway, not as a transparent bridge,
not only will you be able to achieve transparent interception with
squid, as you'll have all the other nice features it come along with it.
I believe that a transparent bridge could work, with an extra effort,
but I would need to rig me a setup to test it. But if you have control
over the router, I strongly suggest using 2 nics, and the openbsd
machine as your network gateway.
