You must use either WDS or hostap to bridge 802.11 interfaces
to wired interfaces, there are not spaces for enough MAC addresses
in the standard 802.11 frames to handle bridging. (OpenBSD doesn't
support WDS).

Some commercial wireless devices support a 'client-bridge' mode
without WDS; this uses something which can basically be described
as a layer-2 NAT.

To do this using OpenBSD I would suggest just doing standard
layer-3 NAT with PF and dhcpd instead.

Nor am I.
