Ok, thanks for the feedback. I will give it a try to compile my own
sunffb driver based on the NetBSD sources (seems like a good project
for a rainy weekend).
While searching for info, I found that someone managed to port it to
debian sparc a while back:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2016/03/msg00005.html

From what I gather, to compile my own X driver module, I need to have
the X development libraries installed (something like libX11-dev).
Are those available as an OpenBSD package/port (I couldn't find it so
far), or do I need to get them manually?

Best regards
Elias
