For OpenBSD, as long as the computers have the same CPUs and you are using the standard kernel, I doubt any changes are needed. I have done this many times without issues.
But, at the very least you should do a fw_update
You will find both are very similar to each other, especially for common tasks. See: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/
I have OpenBSD on a R51e and had it on a T61. No issues except sleep and resume. R51e fails, T61 works except on resume you loose your USB ports.
Now NetBSD works great on the T61, no issues. The R51e I kept with OpenBSD.
Also note this quote from OpenBSD: “… only easy and critical security fixes are backported to i386”
