You really don't want to do that. Yes, not having updates to the packages in -stable is unforunate. But if you don't upgrade to 4.2, you're missing out on all the package changes since 4.1, *and* all the changes to OpenBSD itself. Take a look at http://cvs.openbsd.org/plus42.html to see them. There are at least 500 items there. Not upgrading because 4.2 doesn't have updated packages since it came out just doesn't make sense. --STeve Andre'
