I'm not quite sure what your criteria are for any of these. The best
advice I can offer is to explore what the package system has to offer.
Read the man pages, man 7 packages might be appropriate, or you could
try browsing eg http://openports.se/ and see what strikes you as
appealing.  Also, a web search on OpenBSD + whatever will hopefully turn
up useful references for "whatever", likely from the archives of
openbsd-misc.

wut? it's been my main desktop since quite a while back (2005ish if
memory serves -- I was on FreeBSD or Linuxes until I came to my senses).

That it is. I think the numbers from the pix in my old blog post
http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2010/01/goodness-of-men-and-machinery.html are
still in the ballpark (except the compNN.tgz set, which shrunk to
sixtyish megs compressed by weedning out irrelevancies soon after)
