Can be solved by changing those options to maybe-strings in 
gnu/services/vpn.scm and setting the default to disabled:

    (cert
     ;;(string "/etc/openvpn/client.crt")
     (maybe-string 'disabled)
     "The certificate of the machine the daemon is running on. It should 
be signed
by the authority given in @code{ca}.")

    (key
     ;;(string "/etc/openvpn/client.key")
     (maybe-string 'disabled)
     "The key of the machine the daemon is running on. It must be the key 
whose
certificate is @code{cert}.")

I may eventually send some patches, including the addition of some more 
config-options.

Best regards,
David
