There is a OpenBSD port that was initially done by Lawrence Teo, and his notes are below:
Here is the man page:
NAME
Parcellite - Lightweight GTK+ Clipboard Manager
SYNOPSIS
parcellite [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. This is a stripped down,
basic-features-only clipboard manager with a small memory footprint for those
who like simplicity.
Parcellite features a clipboard CLI. Unrecognized options and the contents of your standard input get copied to your clipboard. See CLI EXAMPLES.
OPTIONS
-?, –help
Show help options
-d, –daemon
Run as daemon. Use this mode if you just want Parcellite to keep your clipboard
and primary contents safe
-n, –no-icon
Do not use status icon
-c, –clipbard
Print clipboard contents
-p, –primary
Print primary contents
CLI EXAMPLES
echo “copied to clipboard” | parcellite
parcellite “copied to clipboard”
echo “copied to clipboard” | parcellite -c
ACTIONS
Parcellite’s actions perform commands using the contents of your clipboard. “%s” in the command is replaced with the clipboard contents.
Hotkeys
The available hotkey modifiers are Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Release, Meta, Super, Hyper, and Mod[1-5]
Preferences
Right-click on the parcellite icon in the systray to access the preferences.
Behavior Tab
Clipboards
generally checking all these boxes is appropriate.
History
Check ‘Save history’ to save history on close.
‘Items in History’ - set maximum items. Currently limited to 100.
Display Tab
‘Show in Single line’ does nothing
‘Show in reverse order’ reverses the history so the first entry is last and the last is first.
‘Omit items’ referrs to omitting characters that don’t fit in the history window width. This is for display only.

An OpenBSD port of Parcellite was committed to OpenBSD’s CVS repository after OpenBSD 5.0 was
finalized, so its stable binary package will only be available in OpenBSD 5.1 and later.
To install Parcellite on OpenBSD 5.1 and later, please run the following command:
pkg_add -i parcellite
The actual binary package itself can be downloaded from an OpenBSD FTP
or HTTP mirror listed at http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html in the
following directory:
snapshots/packages/${ARCH}/
(where ${ARCH} is the architecture, e.g. i386, amd64, etc)
When OpenBSD 5.1 is released, please replace the string “snapshots” with “5.1″.
The filename of the binary package at the time of writing is
parcellite-1.0.2rc5.tgz
The source of the port can be found on the FTP/HTTP mirror in the ports.tar.gz file in the snapshots/ directory. Again, please replace “snapshots” with “5.1″ when OpenBSD 5.1 is released. The actual source itself is in the ports/x11/parcellite directory within that .tar.gz file.
To build Parcellite from source, please extract ports.tar.gz and run:
- cd ports/x11/parcellite
- make install
