Of course. I got Skype running on OpenBSD

The problem is that you can only use chat. You can NOT use VoIP since
OpenBSD does not have enough Linux emulation even for old Skype v 1.2
compiled with static OSS(Linux version) let alone v. 2.xxx which
requires Alsa.

This is how we do VoIP on OpenBSD

You can also get old Skype version 1.2 compiled with static OSS if you
look hard enough on the Internet and add the support to Linux emulator
layer if you have enough programming skill. I am sure Jake and Alexander
will give you their notes about aucat and tell you what needs to be
done.

Cheers,
Predrag
