Re: OpenBSD on IBM Power.
Hi Ben, To my best awareness, Power9 support is underway. No idea about date. Maybe usable in 4-12mo?

Re: OpenBSD on IBM Power.
Since that time various people tried various things -- for reference see ppc@ but personally most closest thing of running OpenBSD on POWER I've seen so far was OpenBSD in amd64/qemu which was kind of PITA performance wise. OpenBSD/macppc is not working in qemu at all and although netbsd/macppc goes way far, it's still not able to be installed properly. On the other hand this all was with quite old (2.12) qemu supported in ubuntu 18.04 since so far I've not found a time/energy to deal with linux kernel compile + new qemu and testing various combinations of openbsd/netbsd install configurations...
