Hi,
I'm running Centos 5 32bit and installed openvpn-2.0.9-1.el5.rf from Dag Wieers Repo. When OpenVPN is started during boot-up it just shows an SElinux related error message. When I start OpenVPN manually after the system has come up completely it works fine.
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"
