Not quite. OpenBSD ncurses will also search all of ~/.terminfo, /usr/share/terminfo, and /usr/local/share/terminfo. So you can install files with tic as normal. The manpages say /usr/share/misc/terminfo, but this is not searched (only /usr/share/misc/terminfo.db). ISTR changing it in the manpages but apparently not.
