There is a port in the current m68k snapshot build.
  ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/m68k/

As for why there wasn't before, *I* can't answer that, might be more
productive to ask at ports@, but it is a moot point now.  A 3.1, 3.2
or 3.3 package won't be made now, and a 3.4 package was made.

My guess is, decisions are made about what applications are most
likely to be used on which platforms.  "Mail server" and "Mac68k" just
isn't an automatic thing in my brain, though I suspect some of the
mvme68k machines would probably do the job nicely.  m68k package build
runs take a lot longer than any of our other platforms.
