Yes, grub is in ports, and it can even read OpenBSD partitions (though you have to use chainloading because it doesn't call the OpenBSD kernel right). If you search the mailing list archives (http://marc.info?l=openbsd-misc) or just google there's results. In the future, you can find out this sort of information by using `make search` in the ports tree or, if you don't have an OpenBSD box handy, from http://openports.se. -Nick
