It could make sense. However, you won't have working suspend/resume with OpenBSD yet and will have to fight with ACPI and its possible problems. Not speaking about hibernation, which X4x laptops have. Also, a keyboard without Microsoft keys is much more comfortable for some. Each has its own advantages.
I'll grant you that suspend is not supposed to be working yet (I haven't actually tried).
It will work, eventually, though.

Everything else is, as far as I'm aware, absolutely fine. Installation of OpenBSD on an X61 is a breeze, at least for amd64 (That's another advantage, of course : X31/X41 is 32 bit only).

The only issue I've found so far is that VLC 0.8.6 is considerably less usable than under Vista x64; the sound lags the video to an unusable degree. I've not yet compiled VLC 1.0 to find out whether the issue is VLC (not unlikely), the sound driver (possible) or X (very unlikely IMO).

Accelerated X is fine, and OpenGL on the X3100 appears to be fully functional too.
