I can't be sure but it looks to me like there are some big changes from version 7.0 (OpenBSD 5.2 ports) to 7.2d (latest release) of Boehm GC, which render the patches for the old one useless. What I can be sure about is that 7.2d and the master branch on GitHub don't use the patches from OpenBSD ports, but something that uses pthread_suspend_np. (That way it builds fine without any patching on recent OpenBSD versions up to 5.1, before rthreads became default.) I don't know why they would do that if the 7.0 patches kept working.
