Craig,

No, right now OpenVPN (and I believe the Linux TUN driver as well) has no 
special handling for QoS such as TOS pass through between different 
encapsulation layers (though it's an interesting idea).

You could, of course, apply QoS rules to OpenVPN's UDP connection or make use 
of OpenVPN's traffic shaping option (--shaper) for basic control over output 
speed.

By using multiple tunnels between the same hosts, each with different QoS 
rules, you could accomplish some of the same effect.
