VPN support is there since the first version we added to kubuntu.
The point is that vpn extensions to network-manager need to be installed at the first place and we don't currently have packages for them in the repos (feel free to make them eventually ^_^).
If you compile those modules or install them as debian packages, knetworkmanager offers a nice vpn support (tested and confirmed here with openvpn)

Now (edgy) network-manager-pptp is available. As soon as this package is available, knetworkmanager provides an extra menu for 'VPN-Connections'. But clicking on 'Configure VPN' doesn't do anything. Please confirm.

I am closing this report since KNetworkManager does provide support, however it seems it doesn't work all of the way exactly. For the "not working" issue, please review https://launchpad.net/bugs/74351.
