In the end, it should be what *you* want. You're the proposed maintainer. :)
I only suggested ohttpd, because openbsd-httpd seemed unnecessarily long,
and of course, httpd had already been taken (Apache).
Maybe obhttpd should be the standard "convention" -- meaning ob = OpenBSD
Fewer letters to fool with when making the necessary changes (binary/man
pages).
Honestly, I'm happy with whatever you choose. I only suggested ohttpd because
it was close to what most people associate with an HTTPd server, and there
are less letters to (mis)type. :)

All the best to you. I'm looking forward to this getting into the ports tree.
Thanks!
