I see the uvideo driver:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.c...86&format=html

Currently supports USB Video Class (UVC) webcams & cameras.

I see hooks for V-4-L here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.c...penBSD+Current

Can an off the shelf ATSC or DVB TV-Tuner that just 'plugs-n-plays' in recent Linux kernels be put in an OpenBSD system, be recognized, and run? I had no idea that uvideo driver was so far along.

I think yes, the uvideo driver is the way to go -- but in order to run on other *BSDs it would be necessary to have it be a loadable kernel module.
