As aforementioned on deadly.org, I am maintaining some over verbose notes at http://www.cocoavillagepublishing.com/development/tools/openbsd/tips/upgrading/

Yes, upgrades can be automated, yes there are simpler - maybe better ways to upgrade... However the notes here are extremely verbose attempting to err on the side of caution and have evolved since version 2.9 to current.

Enjoy and flame me direct with corrections ;)

BTW - thanks to undeadly.org for running with the ball! Best wishes to daniel and others and sincerest thanks for a new default for my firefox browsers.
