I don't think this exists yet; remember that import is to allow NM to
use the connection; it's not expected that NM will preserve unknown
values a year or two down the road when exporting back out to a conf
file.  If NM can't use it, what good is it sitting around in GConf?  As
an admin, I'd expect to distribute the openvpn config file (in which
case there's a canonical source for everyone) or the GConf XML dump that
can be imported when the admin sets the machine up (which of course is
NM-specific).

Are you trying to use the NM dump elsewhere with a slightly different
config?
