Not. You can run OpenBSD 4.6 and run 4.6-Release, 4.6-Stable(Release + patches) or 4.6-Current. So 4.6 doesn't say much about what in fact you are running. The description of each one is in : http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors
But, only your dmesg could say exactly what you are running and what OpenBSD found(hardware, sensors, ...) in your machine.
