Without EVFILT_TIMER, much of the point of using kqueue is gone.  I'd
suggest you try to lobby the OpenBSD developers to update their kqueue
implementation (FreeBSD has had EVFILT_TIMER for over five years).

I'm afraid it isn't high on our priority list.  We primarily target
the systems we use ourselves (FreeBSD 6 and 7, Ubuntu, RHEL / CentOS)
