Sorry to drag up an old post but I am also interested in getting 
dmd on openbsd as it is my OS for my main laptop at home.  Has 
there been any progress with this anywhere?  If not, I would like 
to give it a try.  My experience with D is currently limited but 
I have a decent understanding of the OpenBSD build system (I am 
no expert but I have ported some things to OpenBSD in the past).

I did look around a bit but I could not find any (official) 
instructions on how to build the bootstrap version to use to 
build the latest version of dmd.  Is it pretty much straight 
forward or are there other considerations that I need to be aware 
of?
