Isn't a major argument for open-source that any "back-door" would in 
principle be visible for all to see--at least all who understand the 
code and are willing to test it?  In practice it may not be that easy to 
find, but if every programmer in the world can look at, compile and test 
the source code chances are someone would eventually.  And any 
discrepancies between source code and compiled binaries distributed by 
Open BSD should be easy to spot.

I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, but it has the markings of paranoid 
rumor-mongering.
