OpenBSD uses RAIDframe. get a look here:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=raid&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html

IMHO, software RAID eats system resources & is not as reliable (flame 
off please) as hardware RAID but this is kind of a religious war. If you 
are looking for supported hardware cards, look under "RAID and Cache 
Controllers" here:
http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html

Cheers.
