yep. fdisk can't do bigger than 2T because that's as big as the MBR tables allow. But fdisk is only used to mark off the OpenBSD part of the disk to keep other OSes from stomping on its space. If you are running an exclusively OpenBSD system or otherwise keep the OSes from getting confused, fdisk isn't used for much. Make it as big as you can, and you are fine. disklabel, by default, only uses the OpenBSD fdisk partition, but you can blow through that barrier with the 'b' command, as Allan indicated. If you are using softraid, you will have to repeat the disklabel 'b' thing for the softraid disks, too. I usually forget that part. Nick.
