Yes, it's worked fine for me, ( in some tests i made a couple of months ago):

I know that seems greek to you but the ascii-art diagram make sense (I think).

In this screenshot:

I'm downloading a netbsd.iso from a linux box inside "Network1", 
and in freebsd box I have 2 "ifstat" open (for each tap[0,1] device).
Every single IP in Network1/24 is shapped to 64Kbps.


I  use:
Linux: Channel Bonding + OpenVPN-2beta
FreeBSD: ng_one2many + OpenVPN-2beta
Router1/isp1,Router2/isp2 are emulated with pptp (tap) links.
