I think there could be several reasons why you did not get an answer,
so I will guess what those reasons might be:

1. The question was very vague, as if the platform/arch was a secret
or something. If the receiver doesn't even know what we are talking
about, it might be hard to gather interest for it. Also, openbsd is
mostly not interested in 32bit arches, so anything not 64-bit is
probably not going to gather much interest right off the bat, and most
things that do support 64bit are already present.

2. The non-existence of a free compiler is also a huge show-stopper.
Who would pay for compilers to produce such a platform? Not obsd devs
at least. Even in the super unlikely event that someone (you?) would
turn this compiler into free software overnight, adding yet another
compiler into src/ would be a hurdle as well.

3. Given that we don't even know what machines we are talking about
here, we can only guess that it is some rare kind of machine, which in
turn could prevent it from easily becoming a supported OpenBSD
platform, this requires boxes to be available for builds of -stable
releases, -current and N+1 machines for ports building.
