I had this problem myself after a dist-upgrade on Debian Linux, might be 
related.

Check your kdmrc file and see if the [X-*-Core] section looks something 
like this
[X-*-Core]
Setup=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsetup
Startup=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xstartup
Reset=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xreset
Session=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xsession
AllowRootLogin=false
AllowNullPasswd=false
AllowShutdown=Root



In particular, mine was missing the Setup, Startup, Reset, and Session 
bits. Readding them made it all start working right again. I'm not 
directly familiar with OpenBSD so some of the files may be in other 
places, but it's worth checking I'd say :)
