You can always just compile a piece of software yourself. If you have
some very limited use in mind that isn't going to bring in a large net
of dependencies, or all of the available ports are of high enough
version numbers that you can use ports for the dependencies for the
software you'd like to compile, it's actually not at all inconvenient.
If you want a newer version of something in the ports, you can examine
what was done to make it work, but most portably-written UNIX software
compiles with little or no coercion on OpenBSD. But, along the same
lines as another poster in this thread, there's ofttimes a good reason
for a port to be at the version it's at.
