Oh come on... It's not like the URLs are some giant uuid-based madness or something. All the mirrors have the same simple layout. If you install lots of boxes regularly, it doesn't take long to memorize the name of your closest mirror. If you don't install lots of stuff, then just set installpath in your pkg.conf and forget about it. Also, I'm not sure if this is documented anywhere besides the source of the installer, or how long it's intended to be kept around, but you may find http://ftp.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/ftplist.cgi to be useful.
