Just checked out new CVS revision of PDFKit, and tested here on OpenBSD i386, 
and 
it just compiles and works like a charm. Tested with a couple of PDF files.
Only one minor nit:

If you could apply the following patch to the configure.ac file, and regenerate 
the configure script?

$OpenBSD$
--- configure.ac.orig   Thu May 31 18:00:47 2012
+++ configure.ac        Thu May 31 18:01:01 2012
@@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
 AC_PREREQ(2.52)
 AC_INIT(PDFKit, 0.9.1)
 
-if test -z "$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT"; then
+if test -z "$GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES"; then
   AC_MSG_ERROR([You must run the GNUstep initialization script first!])
 fi
 
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is not used in the whole configure script, but 
GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is used ;)
