I remember trying to figure that out too but all I could come up with was
setting the primary monitor and using that. The number and arrangement of
monitors I have changes depending on my location so this wasn't a perfect
solution for me but might do what you need.
<placement>
<policy>Smart</policy>
<!-- 'Smart' or 'UnderMouse' -->
<center>yes</center>
<!-- whether to place windows in the center of the free area found or
the top left corner -->
<monitor>Primary</monitor>
<!-- with Smart placement on a multi-monitor system, try to place new
windows
on: 'Any' - any monitor, 'Mouse' - where the mouse is,
'Active' - where
the active window is, 'Primary' - only on the primary monitor
-->
<primaryMonitor>1</primaryMonitor>
<!-- The monitor where Openbox should place popup dialogs such as the
focus cycling popup, or the desktop switch popup. It can be
an index
from 1, specifying a particular monitor. Or it can be one of
the
following: 'Mouse' - where the mouse is, or
'Active' - where the active window is -->
</placement>
