Again, I can't speak to the USRP or BladeRF. OpenBTS is a completely different project with a completely different scope. The projects share very little of a common code base therefore I would consider it incompatible as architecturally they are night and day. OpenBTS is a hack of GSM protocol while OpenBSC is a emulation of the GSM/GPRS mobile network infrastructure.
If I had to recommend available compatible hardware, I would suggest community based hardware like Harald's own sysmoBTS or Alexander's UmTRX.
