Yes, it should work fine.  Just make sure you use a unique UDP port number
(--port n) for each tunnel and that you don't use the same UDP port as the
"other" package.

As far as TUN devices are concerned, OpenVPN will fail gracefully if you try
to open a TUN device being used by another app.  Under the latest TUN/TAP
driver, if you say something like "--dev tun", OpenVPN will dynamically
allocate a TUN device.  Under all TUN/TAP drivers you can say "--dev tun2"
and then it will explicitly try to open that tun and fail if it's already
open by someone else.
