I don't think tap is available by default under OpenBSD. 
If you do a google for the following 4 words: 

  "openbsd tap Claudio Jeker" 

you'll find some postings by Claudio Jeker, who appearantly has 
done some work on this.

There's a recent posting by Claudio Jeker from June 2004 on the 
newsgroup: "lucky.openbsd.tech" with subject: "integrate tap into tun(4)"
which reads:

"Here is a patch that integrates the tap (layer 2 tunneling) into the
tun(4) interface. The interface can be switch to layer 2 mode by setting
the link0 flag via ifconfig(8). ..."

Here's the link to Claudio's webpage:

Hope this helps.
