There are people that use OpenBSD's 802.11 hostap functionality, but it's limited currently.. power management for clients isn't supported so you're required to disable that (..assuming the device makes this configurable, some don't).

Beyond the basic framework, the drivers need to implement support for hostap on several models.. sometimes this is based on documentation, other times it's reverse engineered. It might not work on all hardware, perhaps the card physically isn't capable of transmitting a strong signal.
