There is no graphical browser in base. I don't need or want this
browser to do javascript or flash (I have a different box for
entertainment). Of the browsers in packages, which browser would
people think is likely the most secure?

Why not create an OpenBSD live CD with the stuff you want on it?
Because this box will also be my main server. For details, see a
previous thread (I forget the title) where I'm splitting things
between a "secure" box where anything confidential will be kept, and
an "entertainment" box for regular browsing with javascript and, where
required, flash. Also for watching DVDs and listening to music.
A main server where you need a graphical browser? I am sorry, but why
don't you just use your entertainment box rather than browsing graphics
from your server?
No kidding. Having X installed on a main server is a bad idea. What does
this main server do? If you need a GUI on your server you should
probably use Linux or Windows.
If you just need a browser to view documentation on the Internet use
lynx; it's in the base.
If you want security, get rid of X.
