So, you are looking for something like this?
Code:
  (                       Internet                     )
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       |                                     |
      Cable                                 DSL
       |                                     |
 ----------------                     ---------------
 |   Wireless   |                     |  Router/    |
 |Router/Modem  |                     |  Modem      |
 ----|----|------                     -------|-------
     |    |                                  |
 ------   |                           _______|_______
 |Other| -|----------                 |     if0     |
 |Hosts| |  Windows |                 | OpenBSD Box |
 ------- |    Box   ---Xover Cable----- if1         |
         ------------                 ---------------
If so, there should be no issues. You should set the IP details (addresses, subnet mask) manually on both the Windows box's second interface and OpenBSD's if1, to, say, 192.168.78.1/32 on on end and 192.168.78.2/32 on the other, but you should have no problems. Make sure that you put both hosts domain names and ips in both machine's host files (/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts in Vista and reportedly WinXP/2k/NT)

Edit: to do this sort of ascii-art, author your art in a text editor (vi, emacs, notepad if in windows), and then paste it between [code]..[/code] tags.
