Actually, I don't think the minimum hardware requirements for running 
OpenBSD on i386 moved very much in the six years since 4.6 was released.

That said, given a choice of upgrading past 12 releases and doing a 
fresh install and reintroducing the stuff that's actually needed for 
your scenario by hand I'd almost certainly choose the latter. Consider 
the fact that you'll forget stuff you (or somebody else) have added over 
the years and that way clean out accumulated useless cruft a bonus by 
all means. And at least for my modest php needs (mainly nfsen), the base 
httpd (introduced in OpenBSD 5.6) does quite nicely.

The small form factor, low energy consumption and price makes the Rpis 
attractive, sure, but the Raspberry Pis are not currently supported by 
OpenBSD, and for various reasons are not likely to be (check the mailing 
list archives).

But then again, hardware that's pretty much on par with the Rpis 
performance-wise can be had for free almost anywhere these days. Those 
things that may even be slightly newer than OpenBSD 4.6 would possibly 
consume more energy than the Pi, but the hardware is much more likely to 
be fully supported.

Now, as Jiri said already, what's the real problem you need help solving?
