I maintain a port for linux and modifying the port to make it work on
OpenBSD was not so hard either:

Here is a buildscript:

name=scid
version=3.6.1
wget http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/$name/$name-$version.tar.gz
wget http://dl.sourceforge.net/scid/scidlet40k.zip

cd $name-$version
./configure \
    BINDIR=/usr/local/bin \
    SHAREDIR=/usr/local/share/$name \
    TCL_INCLUDE="-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include" \
    TCL_LIBRARY="-L/usr/local/lib -ltcl84"
gmake
gmake install
install ../scidlet40k.sbk /usr/local/share/$name/$name.sbk
install scid.rc /usr/local/share/$name/${name}rc


Ow yes... My fics account name is Rozebottel. :)
