The interesting thing is that today I found out that my wireless
router is actually running BusyBox, an OS based on the Linux kernel,
and its firewall was actually the usual iptable found on many Linux
desktops/servers.
I doubt if OpenBSD can be replace it on the router... but if you has
done so it be cool to know how you made it work.
OpenBSD is used for embedded systems all the time. The most common
platform is called the Soekris. You can get them from Wim:

Many consumer routers these days run linux, but they have special
proprietary firmware-handling. Some have been figured out (e.g. that
Netgear WGRT-something) and people regularly hack on them. What do you
know about your router? If it has a firmware upgrade page you might be
able to create an OpenBSD image and load it. On the other hand, it
might not work like that at all and doing so could equally (actually,
more) likely brick the box.
