This is the description of what I've done yet:

OpenBSD 6.2 installed by cd0.
I would really push you away from using OpenBSD 6.2 -- if you have to use a release, use 6.3; you may want to consider -current, since it will be very close to 6.4.

No; port Makefile.

There is missing information here. Do you have Internet access via Ethernet? Do you have no Internet access at all on this machine?

You should not. At least, you should not manually. The package mechanism will do the right thing automatically.

The quirks package has nothing to do directly with your wifi issue.

What dmesg(8) says about your hardware is needed to give you an answer.
