No.
I really don't see the point of creating 2 separate VLANs on
one switch fabric and then bridging them back together
with a separate device.

This completely defeats the purpose of having the
VLANs in the first place.

I think you need to learn how VLANs actually work.
vlan(4) might be a good place to start.

If you are trying to filter traffic travelling between two VLANs
then I suggest that you configure each VLAN as a separate IP network.
Configure your OpenBSD machine as a _router_ and use PF to filter your
traffic at the network layer.
