I know this is a pointless question in practice and I would not be surprised if the total number of Mac viruses is less than the number of viruses created daily for Windows.
Depends what you call a "virus". If by virus you consider some malicious binary cod for OS X then the answer is definitely NO since OpenBSD can not run OS X binaries. If by virus you consider malicious script then there is absolutely no reason other than your system administrator skills that will protect you from it on your OpenBSD box.
