The latter would be very interesting as a mail gateway methinks. 

On the other point: I am a BSD newbie, but a BSD virus sounds unlikely
to me. The virus writer would have to trick Root into doing something
stupid. The only other way would be to take advantage of some remote
vuln using a worm, and this sounds even less likely to me given OBSD's
excelent security record.
