...it's possible to have problems?
OpenBSD must be installed in one of the four primary partitions. If by "behind" you are describing higher addressed LBA or higher C/H/S numbers, this should not matter.

Since you are planning to set up a multiboot system, back up your system before doing the installation. It is possible to make a mistake.

Why ... 4.2BSD?
The Fast File System (FFS) used in OpenBSD dates from that release of the Berkeley Software Distribution. It has nothing to do with OpenBSD release numbers, or the fact that OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD and both NetBSD and FreeBSD were based on 4.4BSD-Lite.
