Ummm, no.. if you had bothered to _READ_ the websites, you'd see that.

"8.12 - Will OpenBSD run on multiprocessor machines?

No. OpenBSD/i386 will not make use of multiple processors, but will run using
one processor on a multi-processor system board. OpenBSD/sparc will not run on
a multi-processor sparc system at all. No other platforms currently support
multi-processor capabilities."

AND FROM: http://www.openbsd.org/smp.html
"History and Status:

 SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessor) support is not yet in OpenBSD, but there 
exists a project, started in February 2000, to bring said support to at least 
the i386 and sparc platforms. "
