Not really sure how to test it. If I try running it with no HPL.dat
file present I get a segfault:

There is some detailed guidance at

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/how-to-run-an-optimized-hpl-linpack-benchmark-on-amd-ryzen-threadripper-2990wx-32-core-performance-1291/

the gist of which is: you need a lot of care in selecting all the
relevant software that goes with it, such as Blas, OpenBLAS or the Intel
or AMD equivalent substitutes.

Since a port would have no choices in any of these, esp since
there is no port of the AMD Blis library, I wonder at the utility
of this.

I suggest this would provide an opening for critics that "OpenBSD is
slow and here is the proof."  It's not a relevant complaint but
it is a source of noise.

My two cents.
