'whoami' is not POSIX (which is what the openbsd manpage link mentions), but is widely available. 'id' is POSIX, and generally available. 'logname' is the POSIX equivalent to 'whoami', but it's not widely available. whoami, logname, and id -un are all equivalent in output: the plain username of the current user, as per /etc/passwd.
