The Amanda client compiles just fine for me on OpenBSD 5.6-current
when do:

$ tar xfz amanda-3.3.6.tar.gz
$ cd amanda-3.3.6
$ ./configure --without-server
$ gmake

Haven't checked whether it works though.

I have a fair number of packages installed on this machine.  You
probably need at least:

curl
gettext
glib
gtar
libffi
libiconv
libidn
pcre

Cheers,

Mark
