You have not specified which version of OpenBSD you have installed. If you are using the Samba package for OpenBSD 4.8, you must be running OpenBSD 4.8 -release or -stable.

There is also no need to do all this work. Just set PKG_PATH as described in Section 15.2.2 of the FAQ.

Studying all of Section 15 will save you significant aggravation (both currently & in the future...).
