Nice! While I personally do not have any interest in the xbox, it's
always nice to see somebody embarking on a project and *finishing* it.
I'm sure you learned a lot, and I hope the skills and knowledge you
gained will benefit you and maybe even OpenBSD.
I do not know if we have a policy regarding mentioning your port in
plat.html. So far only ports that are in CVS or that are being worked
on by developers are mentioned.
