Basically all you have to do is to install your preferred flavor of
texlive from ports and it will just work.[1]
If by texlive you mean the one supplied by https://tug.org/texlive,
you can use the custom binary set build by Nelson Beebe. Instructions
on how to do this can be found here:
https://tug.org/texlive/custom-bin.html
and you will find Nelson Beebe's binary sets for OpenBSD here:
https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah/bin/
Once this is done, you can use texlive pretty much in the same way as
under Linux and update it with tlmgr.
This is what I do. Either way, you will have to install biber by
yourself.
