"you have no decent binary packages" - OpenBSD encourages the use of binary packages. The OS is shipped with them. You can use ports (compile from source) if you like, but packages are preferred. [0]
There are no binary updates for the base system (maybe in 3rd party, but not from OpenBSD). You do have to compile but there are only a few per release and not mandatory if they don't affect you. Here is the heartbleed patch [1]. Very simple and contains the instructions in the patch.
