Hi,
I am not aware of a software solution to this, but from a hardware
point, if you have an additional ethernet card, usb or even wireless,
you could use your mac as a router, where the VPN went over one
ethernet interface, and your lan was over the other, sharing your
VPN connection. You should be able to test this easily by using the
builtin ethernet as one interface and your wireless airport card as
another. You would want to share your internet connection from the
Sharing preferences pane. Of course, this limits you to the slower
speeds of wireless, but is a good proof of concept.
.
Good luck.

Again not sure if this will relate to most people here, but just in
case...
I see that the Mac can join a PPTP or L2TP VPN for itself, but I want
it to put my entire LAN on a VPN. I already have the other end of the
VPN prepared for this (it runs on FreeBSD), though sadly I can only do
PPTP at this point, not L2TP. I'm wondering if there's a way to make
the Mac handle this at my local end so my other machines become part
of the larger network. I did this with a utility called mpd in
FreeBSD, but the FreeBSD box is being slowly decommissioned here.
