Does this SDL2 program can be installed from ports?

Are you sure your graphics hardware is the limiting factor?
On my elderly Thinkpad X220 with Intel HD 3000 graphics, I'm able to sustain an SDL2 framerate greater than 60fps, as tested with this tutorial. (I needed to install sdl2-image and sdl2-ttf, and build with $ g++ -w -L/usr/local/lib/ -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf -L/usr/X11R6/lib -I/usr/local/include/SDL2 -o test 24_calculating_frame_rate.cpp )Edited to add: oh, yes, you have a 6-core Haswell processor, NVIDIA graphics, and you're using VESA, which limits your framerate.

We don't know how resource-hungry your SDL2-based program is. If it is just some simple program, any GPU from 2011 era which is supported by OpenBSD drivers, even the budget ones, should do. If it would be some simple SDL2-based program there is no need for mid-high-end and high-end GPU. Just something with decent graphics drivers. You can also use other OS for this particular app, if you are not use it often.

If I were you, I would experiment/buy some HD [5,6]000-era used low-end GPU. If you don't do anything GPU hungry anything with decent GPU drivers should do.
