Well, the OpenBSD IPsec code has a very "weak" copyright (just keep the notice on the source file), so it wouldn't be a problem. However, it does depend on various components of the BSD network stack (radix tree code is one). Nothing that can't be fixed I'd imagine.

Peter Novak (I'm sure I mispelled the name somehow) has moved the OpenBSD IPsec code into Linux, and if you think that code would be of any use to the Linux community, I'd be happy to provide a GPL'ed version (or rather, give permission to someone outside the US to GPL it). I think JI and Niels Provos (the other co-authors) will agree.

As long as there are no unreasonable requirements that any code is labeled as "GPL only" (or BSD only, for that matter), I'd be willing to help with that.

PS. As a sidenote, Pluto won't make it into OpenBSD in its current form, because one of the terms under which it was developed is that "it's GPL-only code", even though I offered to separately maintain a version with my copyright (the weak-BSD-like one).
