Hello and welcome!

Sorry, but OpenBSD only has support for guest operation with third party hypervisors. There are Xen-specific and VMWare-specific drivers as well as more general Virtio drivers for guests of other hypervisors such as bhyve, KVM, VirtualBox, etc.

The only supported host hypervisor is vmm(4), the "native" OpenBSD hypervisor.

Correction to the above: the list of supported hypervisors includes only KVM, Hyper-V, OpenBSD vmm(4), VMWare, and Xen. There are paravirtual drivers for Hyper-V and Xen, with VMWare paravirtual services limited to a VMWare Tools driver and "guestinfo" store.
