Packages for
-current can be found at
pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/<arch>. Because not all applications are compiled into packages, you may have to resort to building some yourself.

I think I can pull down a current tree with cvs but was wondering if OpenBSD has a portupgrade or portsmanger tool or other way to update installed packages to "-current"

See the manpage for
pkg_add(1) for discussion on the
-u switch. Note the differences with
-r too.
Be aware that you will not be able to upgrade a
-release or
-stable system directly to
-current. See the table in Section 5.1 of the FAQ for more information on what path can be taken:
