If I understand the dmesg (and OpenBSD device drivers) properly:

Home built kernel, did the OP make any source modifications ?

There's an "Atheros AR9485" device connected to a PCIe bridge. Being "not
configured" meaning that there's currently no driver support for this
device.

Something similar here, an "Atheros Communications Bluetooth USB Host 
Controller" USB device is connected, but being attached to ugen, there's no
driver for this device either, at present. (besides, AFAICT there's no
bluetooth support anyway)
