The OpenBSD change happened five years ago. I think most OpenBSD users
already have a compatibility symlinks created for /usr/sbin/chown and
/usr/bin/chgrp. (See afterinstall target in your OpenBSD
src/bin/chmod/Makefile.)

Or use the following patch for pkgsrc:

I wonder why your system didn't have that already done.
