I wanted to share the configuration (dummy):

remote vpn.example.org
client
proto tcp
port 443
dev tun
ns-cert-type server
auth-user-pass
auth-retry interact
comp-lzo
verb 3

<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
FOO
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>

<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
FOO
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>

<key>
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
FOO
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>

key-direction 1
<tls-auth>
#
# 2048 bit OpenVPN static key (Server Agent)
#
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
FOO
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
</tls-auth>

So the quickfix here is that you can dissect the file and import it all once you figured out the corresponding dropdown/whatever in the network manager. So for example in the example above I needed to select "Passwords with certificates (TLS)" and enter another user/pass along with it, no password for the key and also the TLS key and direction in advanced.

One more note - the following settings seemed to get imported:
proto, port, comp-lzo, remote

The rest was ignored.

I hope this helps.
