Hello,

I am using OpenBSD as guest on a Linux host.
For accessing the host filesystems I've tried to use
sshfs(1) as a non-root user.  I've created a directory
and typed:

$ sshfs <IP address>:/ <directory>

The output is:

fuse_mount: Permission denied

But login via ssh(1) on that IP works.  sshfs from
other OSes to that host also work.  Why is it not
possible for a user to use sshfs?

It does work as root (I'd like to avoid that) but
then every file created on the host gets owner
root.  (NetBSD mount_psshfs also seems to
require root but there the file owner is set as
expected.)

I may be completely off the mark here but I believe that in OpenBSD all mount points _must be owned by root. So you have to pass options for uid and gid with the mount command.
