If you're using gnome's nm-applet and you know the VPN's connection
number under gconf you can do something like:

$ gconftool-2 --dump /system/networking/connections/7 > my_vpn_profile.xml
...
$ gconftool-2 --load my_vpn_profile.xml

Note: commands typed from memory, YMMV. And no, it's not an elegant solution.
