Similarities

Both are designed for the enterprise
Both are reusing existing components with a goal to produce a unified user experience
Both are upstreaming all fixes and enhancements
- Notably, the OpenPaaS team (backed by LINAGORA) deserve huge praise for their massive work on Apache James and the JMAP standard (which WikiSuite will support)
The teams behind each project have a long experience of producing FLOSS apps (OBM and Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware)

Differences

OpenSaaS is the next generation of OBM. It's a rewrite in a different programming language while taking advantage of their extensive experience in the field. This has the "green field advantage"
WikiSuite was born out Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware to address the need to expand out and add new functionality by partnering up with complementary components. This has the advantage of a more mature code base and the disadvantage of some feature overlap. Some glueware between the components is required. In some cases, it's seamless and clean because (ex.: it's using an open standard so it's a desired extension point anyway). In some other case, it's not so clean because it's to compensate for overlap between applications.
OpenPaaS does not support XMPP (but there are plans for a gateway) while WikiSuite picked Openfire to fully support XMPP and to participate to improving XMPP over the long term.

Questions

Is OpenPaas multi-tenant? (highly likely yes). WikiSuite is not.
