If you need the older version I would get a CVS checkout of the OPENBSD_7_7 ports tree (see the faq), then
cd /usr/ports/lang cp -r node node20 cd node20 cvs up -r OPENBSD_7_6 -Pd make prepare FETCH_PACKAGES= make package (or e.g. "make package MAKE_JOBS=4" to use multiple cores to speed up the build) this is not "supported" but will likely work with no or minimal changes to the port.
