Yes, AMSIX have OpenBGPD running.  However, they are not forwarding
the 1+ Tbit/s traffic that they do in aggregate with OpenBGPD.  That's
the member equipment, running probably every possible type of device
known to man.  The OpenBGPD instances are routeservers.  See also
http://www.openbsd.org/openbgpd/users.html (first entry at the time of
writing).

For the OP, if you want wirespeed (ASIC based) forwarding, you're
looking at a different budget than a high-end machine with a few gbit
interfaces.  I'd say OpenBSD on a good machine performs on par with
cpu-based (higer priced) cisco's or better.  Machine details can be
found in the archives, search for posts from eg. henn...@.
