If the pfSense doesn't show anything in the logs your pptp-client most likely doesn't get to the pfSense. In case you are using a dyndns-account check if it resolves to your real WAN IP. Also check status>systemlogs, firewall if there are blocks for the pptp traffic from the client (I doubt it if it's configured like you say but checking that won't hurt).
Last but not least, please provide even more info: What's your LAN subnet and pfSense LAN IP? What did you put into the pptp server fields in the webgui? What kind of WAN connection do you have and what's your WAN IP (PPPoE, Static, another Router in front of the pfSense, pfSense WAN is in a private subnetrange for some reason,...)?
