I have been meaning to try to attempt to come up with a patch to resolve 
this issue but haven't come up with anything. I have a patch in the 
OpenBSD ports tree that allows QEMU to build but its just taking that 
and having it fit within the configure/Makefile infrastructure and 
applied for OpenBSD only.

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/ports/emulators/qemu/patches/patch-pc-bios_optionrom_Makefile?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain

The issue has come up as OpenBSD 5.3 and newer now builds all binaries 
by default on almost all of our architectures with PIE by default; so 
the ROMs need to be built with PIE disabled.
