Yes, but with the exception of sshd (which you get asked about during install), none of these things (NONE!!!) is enabled by default.

I am probably misremembering, but the OpenBSD documentation used to even explain how to disable inetd if you were too paranoid to use that. It is now disabled by default, and--I just checked one of my running systems--my machine does not even have an /etc/inetd.conf file. Most of the things running on a default install are init, cron, slaacd, a handful of gettys, ntpd, syslogd, and sndoid. Arguably sndiod is the only thing you could really remove from that list.
