I tried to port it once.

tmtowtdi, and -scanbus is not totally useless on OpenBSD.  cdrchive
can find CD devices.

It has the ability to play cd tracks, on linux at least.  While
cdrchive doesn't do this, it does let you mount your image and 
browse through it.  Xcdroast doesn't do that.  I find verifying
an image more important than playing music.
