can someone explain/define what the author means when he writes 'copy the whole system' or words to that effect? in the paragraph following the instruction to download the OpenBSD sources.

what defines "system"?

Then, tar up the whole system you want on the final system, and untar it into the /livecd directory (or copy it, directories and all, as you prefer).
there is a clue in the next sentence
Copy your /var and /etc directories to /livecd/backups/{var,etc}
That means duplicate the parts of the currently running system, starting at the root of your file syste, /, that you are using to build the LiveCD in the /livecd directory tree.
For example
cp -pR /etc /livecd
as well as other cp commands
or
tar -cf /tmp/mytarfile /
