Secure tmp for OpenVPN server?

Any reason to secure tmp on a server that only host OpenVPN?

Not really.

I suggest to install apparmor (easy) or selinux (more complicated) to secure openvpn from possible exploits. It maybe help more, than securing just tmp.

On the topic of that, grsecurity would be beneficial.

Not really, unless the user needs shell access through the VPN tunnel just use auth-pam and deny shell access for their user account.
