Yes, there are three ways.

1) Use --client-config-dir and assign a unique IP address to each client 
through a config file for each CN.

2) Use a --client-connect script and return a unique IP address based on 
the CN of the connecting user.

3) Use --ifconfig-pool-persist with seconds=0 and add your users to the 
file prior to starting the openvpn server.

See the man page for info about each directive.
