Openswan and Openvpn cohexistance

Hi to all,
I need to know whether the following configuration is working. I have
four linux gateways (I'll call them A, B, C and D).
A, B and C have static IP addresses, D has dynamic IP.
I have set up Openswan to Openswan VPN between A and B, and between A
and C.
Now I wanted to setup an Openvpn to Openvpn VPN between A and D, using
certificates.
My question is:
Openswan and Openvpn will collide within gateway A? Or can they
cohexist independently without any problem?

They can definitely co-exist.

You iptables firewall rules might become complex, however,
depending on how you've set up Openswan and Openvpn on A.

I have no real idea since I have never used openswan, but you will probably
have to use different ports ( rather than 1194) on some of those
connections.
Is A the host? Ie, is A the one the others are connecting to, of is A the
one that is doing the connecting to the others?

A is the one the others are connecting to.
