Doesn't the OGL specifically say that you can not change the XP needed to gain a
level?
My suggestion would be to use the "monster level" in the DMG. Effectively, the
player expends a level (pre-creation) to get the super-cyber outfit. This
particularly works well if your players all start at "level 3". So they could
either be level 3 fighters or level 2 fighters + level 1 of cyberware.
