If you need 3D graphics acceleration, no.
But for a server I don't see why would you need so, can you specify
any particular need for 3D acceleration?

OpenBSD helps those who help themselves.

Your best option is to download a copy of cd40.iso from one of the
FTP mirrors and boot up the install process. Choose the shell option
and run 'dmesg' to see if all of your hardware is supported (compare
against the supported hardware list in the aforementioned link). If
it is, go ahead and complete the installation and then purchase a
real CD from the project.
