OS fingerprinting takes advantage of inconsistencies between implementations of TCP/IP, you can read more about it here.

Hiding or otherwise obscuring how packets are constructed in OpenBSD would be very pointless, security through obscurity is no security at all.

Instead of trying to hide the fact that you use OpenBSD, be proud of it.
