Maybe you could use the --auth-user-pass-verify with a script to perform
authentication against the radius server, couldn't you ? There's an
example of such a script, shipped with OpenVpn, which perform pam
authentication, maybe another can deal with radius.

Since the SSL tunnel is active, OpenVPN already assigned an IP address
to the client. Do you really need the radius server to do the job ?
