Same as was mentioned in the earlier thread, you can do this by mounting
over NFS from 127.0.0.1.

If that isn't enough then you will need to rearrange partitions/mountpoints
or you could try porting https://bindfs.org/ (using FUSE, which OpenBSD
supports to some degree...)

We used to have NULLFS but it was really always just meant as
demonstration code, I don't recall the original reason for removing it
but it has been gone for 15 years and since then nobody saw enough need
to write non-demonstration code to replace it.
