I installed OpenBSD 4.3 (a fresh install) without any problems. After reboot
I tried to install GNOME, which failed with the following message:
 
#  pkg_add gnome-session

Checking the ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.3/packages/amd64/
showed that gdm is indeed missing:

  gdl-0.7.9p0.tgz       356 KB          03/17/08        13:15:00
  geany-0.13p0.tgz      1881 KB         03/17/08        13:15:00


as opposed to ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.3/packages/i386/

  gdl-0.7.9p0.tgz       326 KB          03/14/08        09:41:00
  gdm-2.20.2p1.tgz      4184 KB         03/14/08        09:41:00
  geany-0.13p0.tgz      1818 KB         03/14/08        09:41:00

>How-To-Repeat:
        pkg_add gnome-session
>Fix:
        Workaround: Install gdm via the port-system.
