9i OCP - 4 exams
10g OCP - 2 exams
9i OCP + 10g OCP upgrade = 5 exams

There are lots of places needing 8i and 9i skills, and the 8i and 9i OCP are not radically different.

I'd prefer to interview a 9i+10g than 10g-only ... no guarantees about being hired, though.

Just realize that OCP might normally only adds a checkmark in the HR screening process, and is often not considered a qualification - other than you have heard and perhaps understand some of the terminology (and how it differs from MySQL, SQLServer, etc)
