I have not seen any RAM / Disk errors using OpenBSD on a dual G5. But
what I know is, not all HDs / SSDs work.

For the MacMini and, the PB (15" and 17") yes, see
https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html

To be clear, I can use a (US) AirPort WiFi card in my second G5 with
OpenBSD.

The Airport Extreme (which you asked for - the external box and not
the Airport Card for some Mac models) is not related to OpenBSD.
Router is here not the right word, as you need another device like a
cable modem at the WAN port. I run here a 5th generation AirPort
Extreme and a Express to extend the WiFi. The Extreme runs in Bridge
mode and is connected to a TP-Link LTE box. Keep in mind, for a
Express / Extreme you need the Airport Utility on Mac OS X (the iOS
version provided not all setting options as I tried it the last time)
to configure / manage it. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPort_Extreme
