A good night's sleep did the trick. Probably this is common knowledge but no 
amount of searching for the error messages when I did "pecl install fileinfo" 
gave me useful results. Anyways, if there is anyone who has had problems 
installing horde on OpenBSD as a result of fileinfo not being available, here 
is a quick note. Hope this is useful info.

To install fileinfo on OpenBSD 4.2, I had to do the following:

1) Install libmagic, autoconf, libtool from packages
2) export PHP_AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.59
3) export PHP_AUTOHEADER=autoheader-2.59
4) download from http://pecl.php.net/get/Fileinfo-1.0.4.tgz
5) tar xvzf Fileinfo-1.0.4.tgz
6) cd Fileinfo-1.0.4
7) /usr/local/bin/phpize
8) ./configure && make && make install
9) edit php.ini and add extension=fileinfo.so
10) restart httpd
