What I find weird is that a driver seems to exist already:

A few limitations are listed, and I'm not sure whether any of those are relevant for this scenario. But I've also tried to set up a virtio-console (rather than virtio-serial) and I couldn't get that to work either, despite it supposedly being the whole purpose of the driver. I'm not very familiar with OpenBSD though, so it's entirely possible that I've simply made a mistake somewhere :)
Perhaps this line is the culprit: https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC#L715 It looks like the viocon driver is commented out. Maybe there's a way to enable it? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
