Building my own release looks useful when I deal with more machines later.
I didn't this time so, so there is no /usr/src directory to work with. ie.
The first step in that document fails:
        cd /usr/src && cvs up -r OPENBSD_4_0
        ksh: cd: /usr/src - No such file or directory

However, it looks like the only way:

        "Patches for the OpenBSD Operating System are ... NOT
        distributed in binary form. This means that to patch your
        system you must have the source code from the RELEASE
        version of OpenBSD readily available. In general, you
        should have the entire source tree available"

Works for me. :)
