It's an unfortunate fact that some software doesn't run as expected on architectures like the sparc/sparc64, they have strange memory alignment requirements and are big-endian.

POSIX threads also have some issues on OpenBSD that are being worked on, the OpenBSD kernel isn't aware of threads yet.. it's all implemented entirely in userland, the libpthreads library is just modular "uthreads" and "rthreads (kernel)" aren't in a separate library.

Midori on my (..mostly -CURRENT) i386/amd64 systems work fine, although it's not my #1 browser as of yet.. it's still a little rough around the edges, Firefox works better in most cases for me.

Posting debugging information like that here won't likely help, you should update to a snapshot and try a -CURRENT Midori package.. otherwise send an email to ports@ and the maintainer.
