I'm using OpenBSD on a dedicated machine for a wallboard calendar display,
- I knew there was a standalone version of the mozilla calendar but forgot what
it was called, so I just installed Thunderbird for this and it's working
perfectly well. I don't think there's any particular reason to continue with a
semi-maintained standalone port and if it's getting in your way, go ahead and
zap.

Fennec might be interesting on lower-powered machines but only if it's
reasonably up to date - Java is only really working properly on OpenBSD amd64
at the moment, and there's no real need for Fennec there, so probably not
useful to keep.
