Here is a copy of the one I have modified to work.

# openvpn       This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               openvpn on FreeBSD
#
# description: OpenVPN is a robust and highly flexible tunneling application that
#              uses all of the encryption, authentication, and certification features
#              of the OpenSSL library to securely tunnel IP networks over a single
#              UDP port.
#

# Contributed to the OpenVPN project by
# Douglas Keller <doug at voidstar.dyndns.org>
# 2002.05.15
# FreeBSD version by Mikhail Levin <m_levin_99 at yahoo.com>
# 2005.01.20

# The init script does the following:
#
# - Starts an openvpn process for each .conf file it finds in
#   /usr/local/etc/openvpn/config
#
# - If /usr/local/etc/openvpn/config/xxx.sh exists for a xxx.conf file then it executes
#   it before starting openvpn (useful for doing openvpn --mktun...).
#
# - In addition to start/stop you can do:
#
#   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh reload - SIGHUP
#   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh reopen - SIGUSR1
#   /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn.sh status - SIGUSR2

# Modifications 2003.05.02
#   * Changed == to = for sh compliance (Bishop Clark).
#   * If condrestart|reload|reopen|status, check that we were
#     actually started (James Yonan).
#   * Added lock, piddir, and work variables (James Yonan).
#   * If start is attempted twice, without an intervening stop, or
#     if start is attempted when previous start was not properly
#     shut down, then kill any previously started processes, before
#     commencing new start operation (James Yonan).
#   * Do a better job of flagging errors on start, and properly
#     returning success or failure status to caller (James Yonan).
