After setting up the VM, you could ssh(1) in with the -X or -Y option
to enable X11 forwarding.  See http://man.openbsd.org/ssh#X  Then
running a program that speaks X will work.  At least, it does for me
(but then I run only OpenBSD vm's under OpenBSD).

Make sure to configure sshd in your VM to allow for forwarded X11.
See the section X11Forwarding in sshd_config(5) over at
http://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config#X11Forwarding
