The latest OpenBSD ISO image install64.iso does not seem to boot in UEFI mode in the latest version of VirtualBox. However, I believe OpenBSD should be able to do this. I tried this simply by creating a new VM instance and then turning on UEFI in the settings:

What I get is the generic EFI boot screen which is shown when booting into the OS doesn't work:

It does work if I turn off EFI.

Do I need to do something more to get OpenBSD to boot in EFI mode?

You could download the install64.fs and convert it to VDI format. Attach this disk as second disk to your vm and install the openbsd system from there.

VBoxManage convertdd Downloads/install64.fs install64.vdi --format VDI

I tested it and it worked for me.
