Yes. My web/mail server is a mac mini. The only problem was finding
a usb ethernet that worked. I had to try three of them before I found
one supported. This one works fine:
axe0 at uhub0 port 6 configuration 1 interface 0 \
"Cisco-Linksys USB200M v2" rev 2.00/0.01 addr 2
axe0: AX88772, address 00:16:b6:ef:6e:83
ukphy0 at axe0 phy 16: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface, rev. 1: \
OUI 0x000ec6, model 0x0001

Take a look at the back of the mini. What openings in the case do you
see? For a second wired ethernet your only choice is USB as OpenBSD
doesn't support firewire. I don't know if the built in wireless works
as I've never tried it. It is recognized by the kernel:
ath0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Atheros AR5424" rev 0x01: apic 2 int 17 (irq
11)
ath0: AR5424 10.3 phy 6.1 rf 10.2, WOR5_ETSIC, address 00:17:f2:4f:3f:75
Warning: the mini won't boot without a console attached. I believe
you can make a dummy plug to fool it into thinking there is a console.
Also, you need this in your rc.local or someplace similar:
# Magic tweak to put a Mac mini in "server mode" meaning it will
# reboot after a power failure. Requires machdep.allowaperture=1
# (or better)
#
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak ]; then
/usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak -w 00:1f:0 -b 0xa4 0x00
if [ "$(/usr/X11R6/bin/pcitweak -r 0:1f:0 -b 0xa4)" = "0x00" ]; then
echo -n ' server-mode'
