(Adding to what Caspar said)

OpenBSD's Tor Browser port is built differently from Linux's, as far as I know 
most Linux distros' TBB package is based on Tor Project's prebuilt binary, 
while 
OpenBSD needs to build it from source, and the part of the work for bridge 
integration is still WIP.

I have some WIP diffs which I will send out soon, once I finished some other 
updates.
