heartbeat should work on OpenBSD, yes. It's called Linux HA, but we aim
to run on all Unix variants people have.

It's possible that nobody has tested it in a while - and there might be
compile-time oddities because a Linux-specific thing might have sneaked
in - but we'll fix that and take patches. 

And a tester on OpenBSD would be awesome, as different OSs also tend to
provide valuable feedback even for the core code.

This would be best discussed on the linux-ha-dev list, though.

And I'd recommend working from CVS HEAD, and not using the 1.99.2 if you
wanted to start today.
