There's a known bug when running qpopper on OpenBSD.  The socket handling 
code in qpopper triggers a bug in OpenBSD.  There was a thread about this on 
tech@openbsd about a month ago, but I haven't heard any developments since 
then.  It will work fine if you run qpopper through inetd, so I'd suggest 
doing that as a workaround.

Another thing to note is that with OpenBSD, you have to force DES passwords,
as OpenBSD defaults to blowfish, and since there's no PAM in OpenBSD, qpopper
has to do the authenication itself.  I was working on a patch that would
provide support for blowfish and MD5 crypt replacements, but I haven't
finished it yet.
