Wordpress runs ok on OpenBSD. It used to be in ports but was removed because there's nothing unusual about the setup for running it on OpenBSD and with this sort of web application you really want to be using the standard update mechanism to get security fixes quickly. You'll probably find it simpler to use a web server other than httpd(1) to start with (nginx or apache httpd), so that the config guides you'll find are more relevant. When you have it working then you can start translating the config..
