The OpenBSD project recommends installing applications through pre-compiled packages as opposed to compiling yourself
unless there is an extenuating circumstance requiring building from source. You will save yourself significant time & aggravation by taking the time now to study the packages/ports system which is covered in Section 15 of the FAQ:
http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html
...but if you do want to get the ports tree, you can do so through anonymous CVS which is described at the following:
http://openbsd.org/anoncvs.html
...and you should
very carefully study Section 5.3 of the FAQ:
http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld
Note that the CVS tag for 4.3-
release is
OPENBSD_4_3_BASE. Section 5.3.3 discusses 4.3-
current & 4.3-
stable. Be very careful to keep the flavor of the ports tree consistent with the flavor of the installed system. Failure to heed this warning can result in very strange behaviour:

Again, staying with pre-built packages is significantly simpler.
