This isn't entirely related, and I haven't used Skype on OpenBSD, but I have used it on Linux plenty. Skype only supports PulseAudio now; meaning that you'd have to run it with PulseAudio's daemon, and I'm not sure what the entails on OpenBSD, but on Linux that means having to use Pulse's ALSA compatiility and stuff for other programs. I would assume you'd have to find a way to use it with OSS emulation and PulseAudio at the same time if doing it on OpenBSD.
