If you want the fortigate systems to forward their logs to the OpenBSD
system, it is as simple as setting the -u option to syslog on the
OpenBSD side. If you have a firewall setup, you obviously have to
poke a hole for the syslog packets to make it through.

OpenBSD will generally log received events to various log files
automatically. I didn't see a way to log all messages from a host
to a host specific log file, so I'm guessing that isn't possible. If
you need that functionality there are a couple of other syslog
daemons that have it.
