It is probably the same problem I'm having on Macbook Pro (late 13): all usb ports are USB3 on this device, and usb3 is not yet supported by openbsd. You can try enabling xhci* by compiling custom kernel, but it's still experimental and probably would not work (I've tried, no luck). -- Alexander Polakov | plhk.ru
