Well, wordpress is a perfect example for something that shouldn't be
provided as an OpenBSD (or any other system distribution) package...
When updating, you may have to push some buttons to make the updated
version work.
It's unknown *which* buttons you'll have to push, because it depends
on what plugins and themes you're using, and in which ways you
customised your wordpress installations. (Or in which ways you
*patched* it to make it a little bit less insane than the upstream
version)

Even if I tested my local toy installation of wordpress (from the
wordpress package) this wouldn't say anything about installations
with whatever configurations and whatever plugins and themes
installed.
And did anyone notice that an update of wordpress from 3.5 to 3.6
zaps some outdated but probably still used theme? Guess what'll
happen. People stupid enough using wordpress (because it's so easy
to pkg_add it) will complain that they now get "white pages" [tm].
I really think we should stop supporting those "webapps" that just
don't fit into a system distribution but have their own ecosystem
(where users are advised to "ftp" to their "webspace" and similar)
