I'm planning to get several small computers so that I can test my software on
several OSes. One will compile binaries for Windows; the others will run
OpenBSD, NetBSD, probably FreeBSD, and maybe DragonFly (I already have a
DragonFly box, but it's slow compared to my laptop). I'm looking at these:

How can I make sure that all the hardware works on all the BSDs?
Hard to tell. Search forums maybe.
Check out Shuttle's boxes while you're at it, they are mostly made of
standard components with very few suprices.
The reason I say "probably FreeBSD" is that another computer I'm going to get
is a Power9 box from Raptor for big-endian testing. I know of two OSes that
are big-endian on Power9: Adélie Linux and FreeBSD. However, while it is Tier
1 on Adélie, it is Tier 2 on FreeBSD. So I may or may not set it up as dual-
boot.
