assuming you mean this one:
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/sla ... 6_64-1.txz
in your filemanager: rightclick on it > look for "Convert to xzm ↔ openvpn-2.5.5-x86_64-1.txz" > click that
a module will then be created in the same directory.
move it to <your_usb>/porteus/modules (it will automatically activate at every boot)
double-click on it or rightclick, choose activate.

ok, two things:
1. for the networkmanager plugin:
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/sla ... 6_64-1.txz
same procedure as above.
2. and for the openvpn daemon to start:
in a terminal do as root:
it will now start at every boot.
to start it immediately:
but you'll most likely need to reboot to get networkmanager plugin to show anyway.
