HDMI is a monitor/video interface standard, and I assume some video cards 
that support it are probably supported by OpenBSD.  (I'd have to know a 
specific card to check the list[1].)  I doubt the system (and, by 
extension, OpenBSD) usually knows or cares what cable format you use to 
connect your monitor to your computer, and that's basically what HDMI is.
