I don't know anything about mumble or the needs of your brother's games, but the following are options:
  • Oko has beat through the details of getting Skype to run on OpenBSD. A thread he started on this is the following:

  • Some of the OpenBSD developers figured out how to do voice using OpenBSD-specific tools:

    ...however, I question whether this would be compatible with the restrictions you are making.
  • The general answer to your question is that Asterisk (open source SIP server) is available in OpenBSD's packages/ports system:

    http://openports.se/telephony/asterisk

    ...however, when I was researching this a few weeks back, Asterisk (as any SIP server would require...) ultimately needs to access FXS ports. There are some cards available, but the only drivers are for Windows. If connecting back to the phone company is required, it may be simpler to get a voice-enabled router (ie. Cisco) & configure Asterisk to send traffic to it. I have the suspicion you aren't wanting to put time into figuring out the lower-level protocol problems.

maybe there is a way to convert the ports for freebsd for openbsd?
Porting can be a very involved process, & it requires low-level knowledge of both the application & the operating system.

In general, we at this site don't provide detailed porting support because it is far too involved. The libraries available on one platform are not guaranteed to exist on another, or be at the same version level. Shims may have to be written to get around some of the translation problems. Filesystem differences between any two platforms are also likely to exist, so you need to study the hier(7) manpage first.

or maybe to run the freebsd version on openbsd?
The first thing you need to study is the compat_freebsd(8) manpage. This will giive you more tangible information.
