I'm no expert in JMX, but I believe that OpenEJB could easily be adapted to become a service (MBean) which could than seamlessly plug into any JMX system, not just Geronimo. Provided that the EJB facilities in Geronimo work as services, the architecture would already be in place if OpenEJB was to become more up to date. The current thinking now, however, is to create a new container system based on an architecture that more closely related to what JBoss did - Dain can speek more on this topic. I haven't seen it yet, so I'll reserve judgment until I do, but I think starting fresh with good ideas from both JBoss and OpenEJB development communities is a good way to go. Both architectures had advantages. It would be nice if we created something that leverages all that we know about EJB container systems.
