As stated in Section 14.16 of the FAQ, NTFS support is experimental. In order to enable support, you will need to uncomment the NTFS option in /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC, & recompile the kernel. For more information, study Section 5.3 of the FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Bld

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#foreignfs

Once the kernel has been recompiled, installed, & rebooted, you should find NTFS partition information in disklabel(8) output. At that point, mount the partition via mount(8) additionally specifying the -t ntfs option.
