Okay, so much later I tried to make this work again...

That I just don't understand at all... Are you using userland PPP? From
what I can tell here, there's no ppp binary bundled with any kFreeBSD
package I know of, I don't see how creating the lock directory changes
anything here.

I can relate to the OpenBSD experience... However my experience on
FreeBSD was that the userland ppp is much more mature and is the
recommended way.
Right now, PPPoE doesn't work. The way I was able to compile ppp(8) was
by disabling netgraph, which makes ppp(8) complain about PPPoE (my
guess):
Warning: deflink: PPPoE: unknown host
Warning: deflink: Device (PPPoE:vr0) must begin with a '/', a '!' or
contain at least one ':'
I'll try to compile with netgraph support. In the meantime I would
really appreciate further directions on the next steps I should take to
package this officially and more details on how others have been able to
make ppp work at all right now.
Thanks,
A.
