Yes, quite probably. 

If you diff -ur openbsd bitrig you'll find the changes are almost all related 
to either removing AFS, rewriting the kernel lock manager, supporting LLVM, 
removing architectures, raising various limits, and some vfs change. There's 
also a few areas where Bitrig has missed updates in OpenBSD over the past 
months.

At the moment, Bitrig is basically a way to see what OpenBSD runs like on amd64 
or i386, when compiled with LLVM.

I'm sure that when WABPL is ported from NetBSD to Bitrig, someone might 
consider porting that work to OpenBSD. As fine-grained locking is implemented, 
that may be ported over as well. Hell, if the kernel pieces of KVM are 
available under a BSD-like license, someone might even get interested in 
bringing that over. Who knows.
