I wouldnt count on it, since generally openbsd is wary of adding
unecessary options, adding -v to mv and cp lead to quite a bit of
bikeshedding, and mv -P was recently strongly turned down. Imo, don't
expect it in a near future, but who knows, one can still send a patch.
In the meantime, cosmetic stuff like displaying what install does can be
done outside install in a portable way...
