I directly asked the developer of plasma-widget-networkmanagement about this in his blog and it seems this is not possible. I just paste below my question and his response (http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.ca/2012/04/plasma-nm-0901.html). I hope somebody finds a way to workaround this issue...

Hi Lamarque,
First of all, thanks a lot for your work!
I'm having an issue with plasma-widget-networkmanagement in kubuntu, I cannot configure openconnect vpn connections. This is due to an ubuntu policy, in which packages in main (plasma-widget-networkmanagement) cannot depend on packages in universe/multiverse (openconnect). You can see comment #9 in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/networkmanagement/+bug/923587
I would very much appreciate it, as right now I have to use anyconnect from cisco because of this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance!

No. Openconnect is a compile time dependency (we need openconnect.h to
compile the plugin and link against openconnect's libraries). The other VPN
plugins do not include compile time dependencies so they can be compiled
without problems.The suggestion in comment #10 would back fire on us some day
with users complaining about Plasma NM failing to build and I would be the one
to fix the problem, so no, sorry.

Sorry but this is a packing issue and I will not risk causing troubles
for all other Plasma NM's users because Kubuntu's policy.

It seems there could be a solution for this (please see comment #10 in https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ networkmanageme nt/+bug/ 923587)
Do you think it could be feasible?
I would very much appreciate it, as right now I have to use anyconnect from cisco because of this issue.
