I was wondering if it were possible for a VPN server package to consistently assign a specific, reserved IP address to a VPN client based on the authenticating certificate.

Yes, that's possible in most VPN systems. A little quote from OpenVPN's man page:

              OpenVPN's  internal  client IP address selection algorithm works

              as follows:

              1 -- Use --client-connect script generated file  for  static  IP

              (first choice).

              2 -- Use --client-config-dir file for static IP (next choice).

              3  --  Use  --ifconfig-pool  allocation  for  dynamic  IP  (last

              choice).

So you can even run a script to select the IP for the client.
