The usual answer is "use vi". I never listened to that. OpenBSD's vi
is not vim. It is very minimalist. That's the point, but it's still
hard to use. I use mg, which is a stripped-down emacs (emacs keys, but
none of the emacs bloat). mg is a bit buggy though and missing some
features.
You don't have these packages because you have to install them
yourself. It's more painful at first, but it's so much more clean in
general (and once you get the hang of it).
Still, if you must use them:
$sudo pkg_add -iv nano
$sudo pkg_add -iv gedit
But really, learn vi or mg.
