We've moved to GRUB 2 as our development branch. *BSD booting is not supported there, so I'm closing this bug.

If someone wants to work on *BSD boot support for GRUB 2, please contact us at <grub-devel@gnu.org> announcing your intent to avoid duplication of effort.

Someone did (and seems to maintain) a patch there:

GRUB cannot boot later versions of OpenBSD directly. That's because
GRUB assumes the old booting protocol, so OpenBSD kernel complains of
it. Even though you can work around the problem by chainloading the
boot loader of OpenBSD, that's not desirable, because you cannot control
how to boot OpenBSD, including netboot.
