No, it is not right. Port development happens in -CURRENT, -stable
only sees backports of security fixes.
Said that, you should also keep in mind that the -stable port tree is
for OpenBSD-stable, and the -current port tree is for OpenBSD-current.
You can't mix-and-match.
So, fetch the port tree for your branch and use that. In this case,
the port in question should compile both on -stable and -current, but
please keep in mind that it's not always the case.
If you're on current, other than a -current ports tree you also need
to have up-to-date packages (doas pkg_add -u).
All of this is carefully documented in the FAQS:
https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html#PortsIntro
along with the exact commands you need to fetch the port tree, setup
things, build, etc.
Buona fortuna :)
