No, omniORB always fragments GIOP 1.1 and 1.2 messages, to avoid
having to pre-calculate message sizes.

Yes, as long as you're not trying to use other things that require
GIOP 1.2, for example wstrings.

Are you sure that OpenOrb doesn't support fragmentation?
http://www.openorb.org/openorb.html has a changelog entry saying
"Fixed problem with bidirectional, fragmented IIOP losing the
fragments", which implies to me that they are at least trying to
support fragmentation.

Cheers,

Duncan.
