Migrating From Linux to OpenBSD...installing current software?

[Jason Smith <sddfdds@yahoo.com>]

My current OS progression has gone from XP > Slack >
Gentoo, and now I think I'm ready to take another
plunge and give BSD a run. (Although I'm still
basically a newbie with anything not XP). I really
like the philosophy of OpenBSD, but I'm not too sure
how usable it is for daily (desktop-type) use. I run a
little apache server with geeklog (gonna move to cgi
though) and that's not an issue between OS'es, but
it's more the little things, and more accurately,
current versions of the little things. Two little
examples of this, Gaim and Firefox. Current versions
of these from OpenBSD, respectively, are .79 and .8.
Is it possible for me to build current versions of
these myself (painlessly?) or should I be more turning
my head to FreeBSD?
