That's actually a documentation bug, the actual code which uses pkg.conf in 
OpenBSD doesn't honor += at the moment. Once it does, I'll be sure
to adjust the package provider here.

Yep, that's the usual practice indeed.

Feature #16752: Enhance OpenBSD package provider to use pkg.conf(5)
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16752#change-76057

On OpenBSD it's possible to create a file called /etc/pkg.conf which lists paths
from which to install packages from. When a PKG_PATH is not set, pkg_add will
look in /etc/pkg.conf and use the path found there.

Currently the OpenBSD package provider in Puppet needs to have 'source' set and
will ignore /etc/pkg.conf, the attach patch adjusts this behavior. If no no 
'source'
was explicitly set, then /etc/pkg.conf will be consulted.

This patch was agreed upon by the maintainer of the puppet package in OpenBSD.
