| Most likely, the package you wish to install is not located in any of the yum repositories you have setup. You may be able to use a search engine to find a repository that has this package. Then you can just add the new repo to repos.d and run "yum install openvpn" again.
If you can't find it in a repository, you can always look for an rpm to install from. And failing that you can download the source and compile it yourself.
That's the great thing about Linux. Options.

| It's in the DAG repository:
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/openvpn/
Quick how-to:
rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/...l5.rf.i386.rpm
yum install openvpn

| You should check your Yum repositories first.
If it says nothing to do, as others have said, it means it can't find the package.
So your solution would be grabbing a .RPM and just installing it.
Make sure the RPM is certified to work with CentOS.
