The MR3040 only has 4MBytes of onboard flash. Even squeezing the luci web UI into that size is very tricky, and likely why it was left out of the default compiled image for that device. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040
The custom-compiled images of Attitude Adjustment which I've made for the TL-MR3020 (similar device) hardly leave 100kBytes free after flashing. By comparison, both the openvpn-openssl and openvpn-polarssl packages in trunk each require more than 100kBytes of space. You would have to compile your own copy of trunk, and carefully adjust the package selection to squeeze in openvpn + openssl/polarssl, so as to fit the squashfs filesystem within a ~3.4Mbyte image (leaving the remainder for the kernel). I'm not sure this would be possible w/o removing otherwise essential packages, certainly not with luci + openvpn. Alternately, you may have to load a filesystem from an external USB drive, bypassing the internal flash entirely. The wiki does have some pages about this. Proprietary firmware images for these size flash chips usually use the VxWorks platform to squeeze everything down. Embedded linux a la OpenWRT can only be made so small.
