Ifconfig and route issue can be manually solved by up-script - shell
file being executed after connection...I had built openvpn on dfbsd
and fbsd by hands and successfully connected two this machines, and,
besides, successfully get internet access at dfbsd using direct
internet connection at fbsd machine :)

Unfortunately, it's hardly possible for me to remember what i've
actually do to make openvpn working properly at dfbsd, but if you need
- i may try to calc diffs =)
