YMMV but I ran it on OpenBSD for many years with a postgres backend.

Same here (except we used MySQL as the backend). Works great from ports
or compiled from source. There are limitations when using Snort on
OpenBSD (especially when compared to Linux and IPS mode, etc.), but if
you only want a plain IDS, then it's a fabulously stable platform.

actually an openbsd developer, snort openbsd port's maintainer and me are
working on snort as IPS, through divert socket, on openbsd.

even if we miss so_rules *cough* *cough*
