Absolutely.

On a "learn-address add", add an ALLOW rule; on a "learn-address
delete", delete the rule; on a "learn-address update", update it to use
the new IP. The man page should provide more than adequate documentation
on this process.

One thing in addition: When OpenVPN is started or stopped, I would
recommend flushing the iptables rules and restoring their initial state
as a safeguard.
