As mentioned in the original thread, you may want to look at net/ssvnc.

For searching for applications officially ported to OpenBSD, several methods are available:

• http://ports.su
• http://openports.se
• Section 15.3.4 of the official FAQ discusses how the ports tree can be searched locally.
• databases/sqlports is a SQLite database of lots of information about applications found in the ports tree.

Of all these methods, sqlports offers the greatest flexibility for creating elaborate & complicated searches. However, knowledge of SQL is required. With the sqlite3(1) console integrated into OpenBSD's base installation, constructing sophisticated searches can be easily done.

If I recall mailing list discussions correctly, http://ports.su gets its information from sqlports obtained from a recent -current snapshot. OpenPorts scrapes information from CVS check-in's. Both of these sites attempt to provide information on the latest changes to the ports tree, so their orientation is towards -current users, not -release users. http://ports.su's findings will more accurately reflect the current state of the ports tree, but I don't know how frequently they update their snapshot information. OpenPorts is known to have flaws in their scraping implementation, so the information displayed there may be flawed.

If you are wanting exact information, check the CVS tree directly. The OpenBSD project provides the CVSWeb Web interface for convenience at their Website.
