Correct. There was a working port at one time (prior to OpenBSD 5.0...), but discussion on ports@ indicates that wine no longer works:

...nor does it appear that it will in the near future.

I just want to use wine to run some windows program.

Wine is no longer available, & it is unclear if it will ever again be available on OpenBSD. You will need to look for other alternatives.

It seems there is no any alternatives using OB(qemu is VERT slow). I can use VirtualBox and Wine using FreeBSD.

I really donot understand why Wine doesnot work on OpenBSD ?!

I could compile wine 1.1.19, 1.3.37 and 1.5.3 (with several patches) in my OpenBSD 5.0, but it's not run. Only run in the old wine version (1.1.19).
Qemu is very slow but if you install kqemu (QEMU accelerator module):

pkg_add -vi kqemu

If you want to load this kernel module at boot time, add the following
lines to /etc/rc.securelevel :

if nm /dev/ksyms | grep mp_lock >/dev/null; then
if [ -r /usr/local/lib/kqemu/kqemu_mp.o ]; then
echo ' kqemu'; /sbin/modload /usr/local/lib/kqemu/kqemu_mp.o
fi
else
if [ -r /usr/local/lib/kqemu/kqemu.o ]; then
echo ' kqemu'; /sbin/modload /usr/local/lib/kqemu/kqemu.o
fi
fi

If you want a user to be able to use this module, add them to the group
_kqemu (vi /etc/group).

The QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) is a driver allowing a user application to
run x86 code in a Virtual Machine (VM). The code can be either user or
kernel code, in 64, 32 or 16 bit protected mode.

Kqemu is not available with OpenBSD after 5.0-release. It was deprecated upstream, and did not function properly on OpenBSD in any case.
