On my amd64 enabled laptop:
$ sysctl hw.machine
hw.machine=amd64
$
You can also check, using file(1), to see what the binaries are compiled
as. This is reliable since we do not support running 32-bit binaries on
a 64bit kernel.
$ file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1, for OpenBSD,
statically linked, stripped
