I'm only really concerned about the base system as I always build all
my LAMPP components, Postfix, etc., by hand so that migrating
box-to-box can go without [a hitch|many hitches].
OpenBSD optimalisation is rather about NOT touching the kernel - unless
you really have a specific need for it.
Run 'GENERIC'. That has worked remarkably well for my webservers for
years now.
If you are used to LAMP setups the only thing you might need to look at
is the MySQL configuration.
That might need it's own login class (busy servers) but I believe more
recent packages started mentioning this.
Otherwise search the archives or have a look at openbsdsupport [1]. Both
have the info on how to do it.
Assuming you are new(ish) to OpenBSD you might run into some other well
known pitfalls:
OBSD has the httpd chrooted [2] by default and php's mail capabilities
(which call /bin/sh) can therefor not work out of the box [3].
Also building by hand isn't needed / advisable - use packages [4]. If
that doesn't work check the ports [4] system
(which all should feel very familiar coming from Gentoo)
