Misc/Ports,
gkrellm has an OpenBSD specific shortcoming. Depending on what USB
drives are plugged in, my softraid could be anywhere between sd2-sd6.
gkrellm needs to be reconfigured every time. The OpenBSD port of
gkrellm could instead support the uuids, and always display my two
physical AHCI drives and the softraid. It's a little annoying having
to configure gkrellm after every different boot scenario.
Also, where do I get started on learning to make ports? I don't
necessarily mean contribute but where are the docs for a wannabe
contributor?

Also this leads nowhere, so I couldn't find gkrellm's maintainer:
http://openports.se/sysutils/gkrellm
I would suggest you read the entire OpenBSD FAQ, as well as
the entire web site. It isn't that huge. If you read it all, you
will find all sorts of stuff.
Plus don't forget the man pages. They really are very good.
In particular, /usr/ports/README says
"Documentation for the ports tree: ports(7), packages(7),
mirroring-ports(7),
library-specs(7), bsd.port.mk(5), bsd.port.arch.mk(5), port-modules(5).
dpb(1) (manpage under ${PORTSDIR}/man) for bulk builds."
It's not simple, but it's all there...
