This issue happens on -systemd (OpenRC) Gentoo only.

Actually, the config is provided by upstream and tmpfiles configs are supported by -systemd Gentoo through sys-apps/systemd-utils.

Upstream does not differentiate between systemd support and tmpfiles support.

Issue with upstream raised here: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/issues/482

It should be fixed in Gentoo by installing the tmpfiles config manually.

This will solve the issue that the file is missing right now and depending on what upstream decides might also remain as a permanent solution.
