They are related but separate. OFED started as a way to deliver IB
driver code and supporting userspace to Enterprise (ie old) operating
systems. In that sense it is a back port project. But it also evolved
to accept patches to the backports before those patches made it into
newline, so in that sense it is also a new development project.
AFAIK 100% of the patches from the mainline are incorporated into
OFED, but the reverse is currently not true.
If you need something that is OFED only then you should use OFED and
an OFED supported distro. Everything in OFED can be build pretty easy
from git for ubuntu, including the mellanox flash tools.

Ubuntu maverick comes with a good kernel side, but the user space is
old. I generally build from git for my Ubuntu machines. I've attached
a script that does the job, quick and easy:
$ apt-get install gcc flex bison automake libtool autoconf
$ mkdir /opt/ofa
$ cd /opt/ofa
$ ofabuild clone
$ ofabuild build -V ofa-1.5.1 -p /opt/ofa-1.5.1
But the install goes into /opt, not /usr/lib so you have to use
something like
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ofa-1.5.1/lib/
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/ofa-1.5.1/include LDFLAGS="-L/opt/ofa-1.5.1/lib/ -Wl,-rpath=/opt/ofa-1.5.1/lib/"
PATH=$PATH:/opt/ofa-1.5.1/bin:/opt/ofa-1.5.1/sbin
When building other stuff.
On the other hand you can have multiple releases install for testing
that too..
This builds 'approximately' what is in OFED 1.5.1 without any of the
OFED patches directly from git.
