OpenBSD is a very good operating system. This doesn't infer that there may not be occasions for some tool like Rootkit Hunter, but OpenBSD's development model & code audits are significantly more stringent than many other projects, so the need of such a tool is much lower.

I find references to Rootkit Hunter claiming compatibility to OpenBSD 3.4 & 3.5:

http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html

...but I do not find any information on why interest may have been lost.

As for the misc@ archives, most information there is also old, but you are welcomed to read through the posts yourself:
