I find it hard to believe they would break a driver, I think of OpenBSD as being don't change it until its 3 years out of date or has a licensing change (IPF) then go nuts. I don't think Theo will let the driver just sit there in a broken state. Or you could go back to 3.1, does 3.2 offer anything specific you needed?
If its a help, I could lend out my Tekram DC390 which would work for any narrow peripherals and has a HD50 external connector if that will hold you over until the 2940's fixed.
