No problem.

Not really.  A firewall IS a router (a router is not always a
firewall).  I have been doing the PPTP thing to my Speedtouch Home for
a couple of years now without any problems.  I am still using IPCop
1.3, but plan to upgrade soon.

If you leave your SpeedTouch Pro working as a router then you will
have to pinhole everything twice.  Once on the router and again on the
firewall.

A quick google and I found the instructions right at the top of a FAQ.

Good Luck.
