pccon is the termcap(5) entry that best matches the console used by OpenBSD on PCs, there are a few variants (see /etc/termcap) but just plain "pccon" is usually fine. You can set it in the shell environment (export TERM=pccon) then run emacs, which is good for a quick test, if that generally provides better results you can modify /etc/ttys (change the "vt220" entries to "pccon", then reboot or send init(8) a signal to reload it - "man init", see the "Line status (on, off, [...]" paragraph).
