At this point, you have left the realm of OpenBSD ports & packages & have entered the wild where you are taking on the responsibility of porting the overall application yourself. The primary issues are:
- Does the filesystem layout match what OpenBSD specifies in hier(7)? Note that the Linux world uses a different hierarchy.
- Do the dependent libraries match? If they don't, you implicitly are taking on the responsibility of porting any missing infrastructure yourself.
My suggestion is to contact the port maintainer found at the following:
http://www.openbsd.org/4.3_packages/....tgz-long.html
...& inquire to him.
