Because not enough people value OpenBSD to work on it. Maybe you
should use a more valued operating system, or contribute a port
yourself. Sorry.

Sigh. That's not a useful answer, nor is it a correct one.
The OpenBSD people have a port. Get it from them, and request that
they do the work to get it into the official egcs release. The holdup
is on their end. The egcs maintainers would be delighted to support
OpenBSD, but since they don't run it themselves, they need help.

Maybe because of the wild reason that no one from OpenBSD
submitted a configuration with title assigned to the FSF so that it could
be included in EGCS? If no one volunteered to provide the support, it is
not going to get done on its own.

Because nobody's contributed support for OpenBSD that can be legally
included in egcs.

The OpenBSD people have not contributed their patches. That is, while
patches exist, for some reason the authors are unwilling or unable to
assign the changes to the FSF.

Why, out of wild curiosity, isn't OpenBSD supported? I happily
downloaded egcs-1.1.1, did the good 'ol "configure", and got this in
response:
Configuring for a i386-unknown-openbsd2.4 host.
Created "Makefile" in /home/brett/egcs-objdir
Configuration i386-unknown-openbsd2.4 not supported
Configure in /home/brett/egcs-objdir/gcc failed, exiting.
?!?!?
