i have the same controller as you. im pretty sure it works fine.

are you sure you're using the iso for 4.0-release? arc was the last
thing added to amd64 and it was added very close to when the release
was tagged. if you're using a beta then you probably wont get arc on it.

also, do you have volumes configured on the controller? if not, there
are no disks for openbsd to use.

as someone else has already said, a dmesg would be handy here.

you should see something like this:
ppb1 at pci3 dev 6 function 0 "Intel IOP331 PCIX-PCIX" rev 0x0a
pci4 at ppb1 bus 4
arc0 at pci4 dev 14 function 0 "Areca ARC-1110" rev 0x00: irq 5
arc0: 4 SATA Ports, 128MB SDRAM, FW Version: V1.41 2006-5-24
scsibus0 at arc0: 16 targets

if you see this, then the iso has arc installed. if you see no disks
attached to that scsibus then you have no volumes configured.
