Yes, the last "selective sync" was with libpcap 0.9.4 in 2006.

On a related note, I sent a diff to tech@ back in November 2011 that
imports a number of core functions from libpcap 1.2.0 to libpcap in
base. It makes it easier to port programs that need the newer libpcap
(like Snort 2.9.x) to OpenBSD.

The diff could use some testing if anyone's interested. :)
