My httpd logs show errors that look like php-fpm issues and sure enough, when I try
rcctl start php72_fpm
I get
php72_fpm(failed)
In line with other OpenBSD configuration so far, I'd expect to be able to investigate some logs and read some man pages, but not sure where to find the error message in this case.
By running
rcctl -d start php72_fpm
(note the -d), you will start the service without redirecting the output from the rc.d script to /dev/null. This would allow you to see what's happening.
This is me trying to start php72_fpm from freshly installed php-7.2.10 installation.
$ doas rcctl -d start php72_fpm

The issue here is that the configuration is missing.
Make sure that you copy the supplied example configuration file from /usr/local/share/examples/php-7.2 into /etc/php-fpm.d (and modify it to fit your needs).

Answer was to:
Open the rc file at /etc/rc.d/php72_fpm to find the actual executable's path:
/usr/local/sbin/php-fpm-7.2 and running that directly, which gave the actual error:
failed to load configuration file
/etc/php-fpm.conf
Running locate php-fpm.conf showed an example at /usr/local/share/examples/php-7.2/php-fpm.conf
So, the missing step was to manually run the command to get more verbose output of the error, but I didn't know to look in the rc.d scripts directory.
