You only have to edit the xorg.conf once. Then use shift+alt to switch.

Since you are on GBONE, you can install the keyboard applet. From there, you can edit a list of whatever keyboards. And, a plus, even call a graphic representation of the keyboard with the way to enter some characters.
Fwiw, XFCE4 has the keyboard pabnel applet, but just displays the current keyboard and does not switches yet. Havent't tried the shift+alt though.

Specific OpenBSD:
- you must first make sure you have a symlink
ln -s /etc/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
- man kbd for the CLI, haven't found equivalents on other *BSDs
