The plugins don't actually need any dbus registration to be found by the applet. All they do is drop a ".name" file in /etc/NetworkManager/VPN so NM knows they are there. But you'll need to restart NetworkManager after installing a VPN plugin since it doesn't yet recognize new VPN plugins on-the-fly.
