Using config(8) to disable drivers will save no RAM whatsoever; they are statically linked within the monolithic kernel.

And FWIW, I attempted to get OpenBSD 4.8 or 4.9 (can't recall) running on a machine with 20MB ram with a GENERIC modified kernel config. I got down to about 6MB but that was cutting out all of the USB / BT / anything relevant in the last 10 years of computer hardware.
In the end it worked but I had some issues with PCMCIA cards that I think may have been related to my 'choices'.
