OpenBSD/i386 isn't likely to change major platform support any time soon, if ever. The port for dropping legacy crap would be OpenBSD/amd64. Now, look at its kernel config. You'll see, that was already done. ta-da! I bought an old, high-end 80386 system from a Goodwill store for $5 some 6 or 7 years ago. I was kinda depressed that it wouldn't boot OpenBSD anymore, but then I wet my pants when I got KA9Q NOS working on it.
