That's because there are no OpenBSD versions of rx_kmutex.h and rx_knet.c.
If there were, they would be located in openafs-1.2.3/src/rx/OBSD.  As I
mentioned before, there hasn't been a full port of OpenAFS to OpenBSD as
part of the regular source distribution, that I know if.  Perhaps you
should check CVS.

If you wanted to work on one, I'd suggest starting with:
	cp -rf openafs-1.2.3/src/rx/FBSD openafs-1.2.3/src/rx/OBSD

I doubt many changes would be needed in the FreeBSD code to make it work
on OpenBSD, but don't expect "make" to work properly without at least
making a few changes to rx_kmutex.h and rx_knet.c.

I'm not a [Free|Open]BSD user myself, so I'm sure there are issues that I
am not aware of.
