Yes. Also keep in mind that there are NO Zaptel hardware drivers for
OpenBSD as of yet, so you can't natively do FXO, FXS, T1/E1 TDM/PRI or
other fun things on the Asterisk box just yet. In order to do phone
network interfacing, you'll need an external box that can speak those
things and speak SIP (or IAX) out to the Asterisk-on-OpenBSD box.
The other issue that may come up, especially when doing protocol
translation is that you tend to need stable timing on the Asterisk box,
this usually comes in the form of card interrupts clocked by the Zaptel
hardware. Under Linux, there's the "ztdummy" module, but I don't recall
if they have a similar workaround for the *BSD ports.
