Unfortunately not. Location updates are one of the categories of things that Apple specifically added options to let apps to do stuff with while in the background. (Playing music/audio is another category of tasks that got special treatment.)

Unfortunately, there isn't an equivalent approved method for the kind of stuff that OmniFocus needs to do. The API calls that Latitude/Pandora/etc use for their background tasks don't work for the kind of network access that OmniFocus needs in order to sync.
