I am not aware of Mac PPTP clients, but there are Linux clients, so it should
be possible. The Mac OS has been reasonably good (on the whole) in separating
protocol layers, so if you can make a PPTP connection, you should be able
to have full Mac connectivity.
Getting the first part is left as an exercise for the reader :-) This would
be a good place to start:

Ah, but searching for "pptp macintosh" on google.com (always a good place
to start) gives some interesting leads, including:
http://www.valleynet.on.ca/~aa158/mac-ras.html
So, yes, it does look possible. Any Mac people out there able to try this
out with e-smith 4.1.2?
