It is "low hanging" because of your hard work on Qt and the KDE components:

https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/Building-from-source

I'm happy to provide some  of the diff's if it is part of serious effort to 
get the port updated.

Note that the lxqt port x11/lxqt/obconf-qt which pulls in x11/openbox

I suspect you or someone else will eventually have to in order to update the

I'm refering to this 
thread: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=168257922330966&w=2
It was obviously alot of work that sat long enough for the patch to no longer 
cleanly apply.

Last bit of backgroud, LXQt can use many different window managers:
  https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/lxqt
"dep: xfwm4
window manager of the Xfce project
or x-window-manager
virtual package provided by [show 51 providing packages]"

In Debian derivatives, the meta package will install xfwm4 unless one of the 
51 alternatives has been previously installed. I'm not aware that OpenBSD's 
port infrastructure would do the same.

So I'm proposing removing lxqt-obconf in openbsd and adding text in the 
pkg-readme about the need to add kwin or xfwm4 or openbox.... and how to 
manually configure if the first run autoconfiguration fails.

"[jsh@PooBear lxqt]$ pwd && cat session.conf
/home/jsh/.config/lxqt
[General]
__userfile__=true
leave_confirmation=false
window_manager=kwin_x11

[Environment]
GTK_CSD=0
GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0"
