This is most advantageous for remote servers, and one series of Dell server platforms with watchdog timers got a mention in 2005 in the OpenBSD Journal.

OpenBSD/i386 has some hardware listed as officially supported:
Quote:
  • AMD Elan SC520 System Controller (elansc) (G)
  • ICS PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog timer (wdt) (G)
  • Intel 6300ESB ICH (ichwdt) (*)
  • National Semiconductor Geode SC1100 IAOC (geodesc) (*)
  • Quancom PWDOG1 watchdog timer (pwdog) (G)
  • VIA VT1211 (viasio) (G)
There's no list for amd64 or sparc64.
