You've overlooked something ;)
I included 'snort-stat' in the debian package (i maintain it), which is
supposed to do the mailing-of-statistics.
snort-stat is standard perl, piped trough sendmail. You might want to take a
look at the snort-stat script, and use it on your openbsd machine as well.
Mind you, the snort-stat i included in the latest (unstable) debian package
has a 'little' bug, and is not taking care of the reports correctly, so
you'd be missing out on alerts (it does send statistics, but they're
incomplete).

Greets,
        Robert

      If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.
