No, mpd will not work under OpenBSD, as OpenBSD lacks a kernel
subsystem which mpd uses (NETGRAPH).
There is a pptp server called poptop, which you can use.
But you will be much better setting up IPSec, or if you still think
IPSec is a scary beast you should aware,
there is OpenVPN which I could also recommend.
