I use djbdns on OpenBSD, and don't know anything that needs patching for my uses. However, I don't do ipv6. There is a patch to do that, but if I needed ipv6 support I'd probably stick with OpenBSD's version of BIND. (At least until djb gets around to supporting ipv6.) It will never be part of OpenBSD due to license and hier conflicts, but it's trivial to add it if you'd like to try it.
