Doing some searching on the mail archives will point you in the right 
direction.  Thorsten Lockert posted quite a bit a while back (May) 
with his excellent patches for OpenBSD.  I have successfully compiled 
Asterisk, but real life keeps interrupting my intended goal of 
testing with SIP channels.

What would make leap up and down with glee would be to see the Digium 
hardware supported in OpenBSD, but I don't think that's going to 
happen any time soon.

Why don't you try getting it running on FreeBSD?  Shouldn't be _that_ 
hard, but I can't say for sure.
