Oh god yes.  What I would want to see more than anything else is a 
tutorial that details a telecommuting style configuration where isakmpd 
(openbsd server), kame (os x client), openswan (linux client), and 
microsoft's ipsec all play nicely together.  I did some research and 
experimentation with the subject a few years ago, but I didn't have the 
time to figure out how to make it work.  Hopefully the situation has 
improved since, but I still haven't come across any interoperability 
documentation.
