The GNUstep ports can be downloaded here: https://www.l00-bugdead-prods.de/
The SimpleAgenda needs the libical port, this port you will find there too.
These ports are for -current, therfore when you try them on OpenBSD 4.1, you 
have to run make makesum to update the distinfo file.

The problem is described very easily:
On first startup of SimpleAgenda, the applicaton icon shows up in the dock, 
the menu or main window, i cannot really see what it is, is flickering a lot 
of times, and then disappearing. For each flicker, one line of these shows 
up in the console:

after the last line the flickering stops, and the window is disappeared, 
only the application icon is there in the dock. This was tested with wm2 and 
WindowMaker. The lines are only printed on the console in wm2, in 
WindowMaker, the console is silent. 
When I then kill the application and start it again, the flickering 
menu/main window does not show up again.

I started it with debugapp to see where it hangs:

It is the same place on first or subsequent start.

Other applications, like GNUmail, ProjectCenter work well.

Anybody has an idea what could cause the problem?

gnustep-make-2.0.1p3
gnustep-base-1.14.0p3
gnustep-gui-0.12.0
gnustep-back-0.12.0p0
gnustep-simpleagenda-0.26
