In my experience, my dwm move between Debian, Arch, and now Artix - was a easy as ensuring I have the pre-reqs installed first (Arch and Artix were the same), copying my suckless directory, running the make routines.
It looks like you are coming from an OpenBSD system so you will need to make sure that your config files comment out the OpenBSD related bits in favor of the more generic ones. The other thing to make sure of when compiling, the bins are then placed where they would belong in a Linux system oppose to a BSD system.
There may be some differences (I don't recall its been a very long time since I ran either Free or Open).
In case you are thinking, what are those pre-reqs? Here's what I use:
base-devel git libx11 libxft xorg-server xorg-xinit terminus-font xorg-xrandr xorg-xsetroot
The real debate is what a person feels is a pre-req. I think the above is a bare-minimum.
In my case, I didn't need to worry about either of these. You should at least give that a try. You might surprise yourself!
