Speaking as the OpenBSD GNUstep package maintainer:

If you want to concentrate only on CLI stuff:
sudo pkg_add gnustep-base

otherwise, if you want to do GUI related things:
sudo pkg_add gnustep-base gnustep-back

If you want to use ProjectCenter and/or Gorm:

sudo pkg_add -i projectcenter gorm

If you want a full GNUstep desktop, including all above mentioned, and much 
more, run:
pkg_add -i gnustep-desktop
and afterward checkout: /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gnustep-desktop


The latest GNUstep release was after 7.5 release, if you want latest releases, 
you'd 
have to install a -snapshot.

cheers,
Sebastian
