Hello, The Python 3 port is not available for OpenBSD 5.0, only for -current and will be available for OpenBSD 5.1. The ports/python3 was just for -current, and we decided to move to "lang/python/3.2", so there is no impact for the stable release. If you really need Python 3 on OpenBSD 5.0, please contact me and I will see what I could do. Remi.
