No, the manual is on the file system, and they're far better than the crap documentation you get from Linux or other Unixes. It just also happens to be available, in a convenient location on the web.
...until you put a typo in/etc/fstab when you're not used to plain old vi, and get to discover the joys of learning ed. Without a man page because that was in/usr too.
Some reason you can't just manually run "mount" from the command-line to mount the/usr partition, and get vi and man pages back?
And is there some reason you couldn't just visit the website to access the man pages?

you could have made a backup copy of fstab before dicking with it. or followed the excellent OpenBSD documentation and made backup root partition.
