See the following:

http://www.openbsd.org/4.3_packages/i386/redhat_base-8.0p9.tgz-long.html
http://www.openbsd.org/4.3_packages/i386/fedora_base-4.0p3.tgz-long.html

fedora_base is newer, but some some applications may be more
compatible with redhat_base.  Most important, you should study Section
9.4 of the FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq9.html#Interact

...along with the compat_linux(8) manpage.

At the mirrors, I only find the following:
