On CentOS 5 64 bit I downloaded the openvpn src.rpm from Fedora Devel, 
as it's the most recent version, and rebuilt it. It works very well, I 
just finished some fairly extensive performance tests with it and just 
posted the results on openvpn-users. No SELinux issues that I can discern.

But remember that you can always tweak SELinux. Here's a guide for RHEL 
4 that might still apply to v5:

Especially see the chapter "Minor Customizations of the Existing Policy"
