Hello Jesse, 
I was briefly working on getting Prism Launcher supported
in a port as I came across this same issue. It's probably in your best
interest to join the ports@ list, learn porting, and submit these
source code changes as a patch to the port. Please refer to ports(7)
and the porter's handbook on a guide to porting:

- https://man.openbsd.org/ports
- https://openbsd.org/faq/ports/index.html

The OpenBSD port correctly configures the Qt5 libraries, and is the
ideal way to develop this piece of software. If you like, submitting a
diff with said patches would be very helpful. I found out the hard way
that Prism Launcher isn't as portable as it puts itself off to be, (it
tries to download Linux lwjgl at runtime for some reason, with no
way to override with system lwjgl at configure time, yuck!)

Maintaining ports is a good way to learn the intricacies of the OpenBSD
operating system. We could always use some testers, so your help would
be appreciated.

Thanks!
