I am not going to agree with you on this one, kind of. If you are setting up
a box that is going to be dedicated to qmail and/or the djbdns world I would
use the daemontools as well as the other recomended software he developed.

The way I would go about it is to install a clean Openbsd system. Go ahead and
edit /etc/rc.conf and get rid of inetd and all other services you are not going
to use. Install the needed packages from the ports tree. Keep it simple.  

I would go as far as to remove any unused files (i.e. ftpd) to ensure
that as the box gets older you will have less things cluttering up the drives.
