i already have openbsd installed on a machine and would like to mess around with blackbox on it. unfortunately i did not install x11 when i initially installed openbsd. when i try to install the blackbox port, it tells me i cant until x11 is installed. short of compiling x11 or reinstalling the system totally do i have any other options? are there any packages or ports i could use?

They are in .tgz format, so I would think the pkg_add should work. If you dont use that it may break the package/ports system by not keeping the database up to date. Check the system with a "pkg_info | grep comp", that should tell you (if you installed comp??.tgz during the install) if these things are run through pkg_add.
