Okay so after hours of searching I have found a work around that may
help some people with this issue. If you simply need to prevent vpnc
from becoming your default gateway (This would be accomplished in the
GUI with the "Use this connection only for resources on its network"
checkbox) you can do the following:

1) launch gconf-editor
2) navigate to your vpnc connection, should be in or around {gconf}/system/networking/connections/1/  (where 1 is the number of the configured connection, you should see both a connection and a vpn folder here)
3) Make a new configuration directory under the connection, I couldn't figure out how to do this with the gui, but 'mkdir ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/1/ipv4/' worked okay (You'll have to log out and login for it to appear in gconf-editor)
4) Use gconf-editor to create a new boolean key in your {gconf}/system/networking/connections/1/ipv4 folder called "never-default" and set it to true

Connect to the VPN as usual and it should work.
