You can create a crypto disk during or after installation (type ! at any prompt in the installer to get a shell prompt). See softraid(4) and bioctl(8) man pages. However, the installer does not automate this for you so make sure you understand how to install and upgrade the machine before using it in production. If you've never used encrypted disks on OpenBSD I'd recommend trying to create an encrypted USB key disk first, then perhaps encrypt just the /home partition next, and work your way out from there.
