Hi, regarding wireless you can check here http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless especially read caveats section here http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=athn&sektion=4 (no n-version yet)
Regarding modem I can't find it here http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pci&sektion=4&arch=i386&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current . Do you have some outputs available from Linux like some detection from dmesg, scanpci, lspci ? In-kernel version of ppp http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pppd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html In-userland version of ppp http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ppp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html pf(4) doesn't work on Layer 7. Anyway all info needed is here http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/index.html and of course in man pages. I'm not sure right now, but there may be some apps in packages/ports which provide that functionality. So it looks like OpenBSD is however not right solution for you right now.
