Recognize that the information posted on http://openports.se is specific to the development branch of OpenBSD. If you installed -release, the version of applications available in packages/ports may not be the same or even available.

If you are unclear on the different flavors of OpenBSD (-release, -stable, & -current), study Section 5.1 of the FAQ.

I was checking out the list of available ports and noticed there's no listing for portupgrade, portmaster, or portaudit, which are the very first things I install on a fresh FreeBSD build...
Correct. The official third-party application build systems sported by FreeBSD, OpenBSD, & NetBSD are all different. As for specifics on OpenBSD, again study Section 15 of the FAQ whose link I provided earlier. In particular, packages are installed & upgraded through pkg_add(1).
