OpenBSD apparently still uses CVS. I found this GitHub mirror of their ports repo which has the new wine port: https://github.com/openbsd/ports/tree/master/emulators/wine

That has a static import from 13 hours ago. Anyone know if this wine port has its own repository somewhere else tracking the history of the development effort?

"Still uses CVS", I mean, CVS worked twenty years ago and it still works today for all the platforms OpenBSD supports. If you prefer something else, that is all right, but here is emulators/wine on CVSWeb:

In their official CVS they link to this repo: https://github.com/NethIafin/wine/tree/openbsd-master

They mirror to GitHub regularly, but development still happens in CVS. They are building “got” as a potential replacement that allows git-driven development while following OpenBSD’s idiosyncratic approach: https://gameoftrees.org/goals.html

My guess is they based this on the similar NetBSD port but I don’t know where the repo is.

The port itself doesn't mirror the wine code. It is just the recipe on how to build in on OpenBSD + necessary patches.
