If it's any consolation, if you move or copy that VM (or .vmx, at least) from one ESXi host to another, the interfaces will get assigned to the same PCI addresses, and detected/enumerated in the same order.
However, there is no guarantee of that remaining true when you move from one VMware product to another (e.g. ESXi -> Workstation) or when you upgrade versions (e.g. ESXi 5.0 -> ESXi 5.1). I have seen this happen.
For that matter, upgrading OpenBSD could also - at least in theory - change the detection order, too. I have not seen this happen since the 2.x days, I think, and I could easily be mistaken even there.
