No you don't.  At least not if you're using the disk exclusively with OpenBSD
or you know for sure that any other operating systems that touch it will
co-operate.

For disks larger than 2 Tb, you can create an fdisk partition spanning the
first 2 Tb, then just adjust the bounds within the disklabel to use the
whole capacity of the disk.

If you don't need to boot from the disk, you could probably get away with
not creating fdisk partitions at all, and just creating a disklabel on the
raw volume.  However, there are various caveats doing this, some of which
may not be obvious.
