I would like to do the same thing. I successfully configured openVPN on my firewall, and I successfully tested it using the firewall's current external ip address. When I attempt to connect through my Dynu DNS host name, the port gets mapped from the default correct value to a random value by the Dynu DNS service. I can see the traffic using the "Capture Packets" tool on my firewall. It shows the traffic coming from the Dynu DNS ip address using the correct port going to my firewall's external ip address using a randomly assigned destination port. It's like the Dynu DNS service has the port assignments backward.
