Is this even possible? I want to build a small community site but do not want to use Live ID.

Sharepoint has an extensible authentication provider model, so you could use that to extend it to support openid.

If you're just looking for a windows-based community site framework, I'd suggest Community Server, which has a free license and built-in OpenID support.

Many people have already done this using DotNetOpenId with SharePoint.

There are some discussions on the dotnetopenid mailing list that cover this topic. Feel free to post your question there to get the responses of a few people there who have done it.
