Unless
Daffy is changing affiliations,
bxpkg is only available for FreeBSD, & FreeBSD's package tools.
Perhaps the simplest cross-platform solution is to learn the Tk extensions to Tcl. This begins a descent into programming solutions, & I don't recall
Daffy mentioning any previous programming experience. Depending upon what packages are already installed, Tcl might already be installed in your OpenBSD environment as a dependency to other packages. Many Tcl/Tk tutorials can be found on the Internet.
In my opinion, if you are going to begin learning a programming language, learn Python. The Tk extensions
(the same mentioned above for Tcl...) are also part of a standard Python installation. wxPython
(also available in OpenBSD's package system as py-wxPython...) is a much more robust GUI library available to Python.
Some beginning tutorial presentation can be found at the wxPython site:

There are no simple GUI building tools. Constructing an X11 interface requires programming experience. Unless you have already started down this path, don't expect to knock out complicated software in a few nights of dabbling. Programming takes time to master.
