They port the open source Linux drivers. FreeBSD does this too. Maybe others.
Over time there can be periodic drift and out of date drivers until they re-sync, but it usually works pretty well.

Obvious in hindsight, shows how much of a BSD noob I am :)
Another interesting story is that on FreeBSD, Nvidia actually provides a port of their proprietary binary driver. The user mode piece does not support cuda, but I successfully ran a Linux emulator container that can run cuda with a FreeBSD kernel. I use it to run llms on FreeBSD.
But that is freebsd, not openbsd. I couldn't imagine it on OpenBSD because the priorities are very different
