To put it mildly, I've lost track of the number of times I've cursed
OpenBSD because of ongoing build headaches. We generally use it neither
for development nor production, but whenever people report build
problems, we try to go in and fix them. Thus, if there are OpenBSD
issues with the current release, please let us know.

I made an OpenBSD port of bro-1.4, which included in the ports tree:

Quoting Kevin Lo from 12/17/08 1:20 AM

I made an OpenBSD port of bro-1.4, which included in the ports tree:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/bro/

I just switched from FBSD to OpenBSD. Kevin - thanks for the port. Built
like a champ. Only one issue popped up - I had to remove the 'size' line
from distinfo (I'm guessing some small "thing" changed upstream at
ftp.bro-ids.org?).

Thanks,

What version are you running? Note that the ports tree is developed
against -current. Please see:

Ah, yes, I'm running stock 4.4.

..Which explains, among other things, why I didn't see bro in my ports
directory to begin with! (I fetched your port by hand).
