OpenBSD doesn't have their own version of sudo. The sudo maintainer is
an OpenBSD committer (millert), and if other OpenBSD guys were to make
any enhancements, I expect that the changes would quickly find their
way into the official distribution.
FWIW, I don't see any reason to include sudo in the base system. It's
something that I install on every computer, but I don't mind building
the port or installing it from a package. Unlike some of the other
things I usually want on every system (e.g., emacs), it's small and
doesn't have any dependencies, so it's not a problem to install it as
soon as the system is online. That said, I wouldn't object to having
it in the base, either.
