Xenocara is the classic X tree, as much as possible.

And they don't support most of the platforms that OpenBSD does. LLVM doesn't either. Frankly, if you want to play with OpenBSD compiled with LLVM, try Bitrig. OpenBSD still keeps ancient versions of GCC in-tree (and Miod maintains them) to support platforms like m88k, vax, m68k, and so on. OpenBSD has the only working m88k GCC 3 implementation, for instance. Maybe at some point in the future, OpenBSD might include LLVM if there is some compelling reason to do so. But that hasn't happened yet.
