I have just checked in the new VPN plugin infrastructure and plugins vor 
OpenVPN, VPNC and PPTP into the KNetworkManager SVN. If you want to give them 
a try you'll need the VPN backend provided through the NetworkManager CVS. 
But at the moment it is not possible to build the VPN backends without the 
gnome dialogs.
