My first OpenBSD machine was a IIcx (with 2.8) and I had supported
another IIcx as a Mac OS machine for a while. So I can say most 
definitely that the IIcx had a FPU. OpenBSD works or at least worked on
it.

With respect to the mentioned experiment with SoftFPU, we should not
forget that booting OpenBSD off external media is not supported. Only
one internal HD is supported by the mac68k port. I had my Quadra 700
booted with an additional external SCSI HD hooked up, but it crashed
a lot. And let me tell you that fsck takes ages to repair a 9Gig SCSI
drive on a 25Mhz mac68k machine.
