ppp(8) used net/pptp as a pseudo-device via pipes to a pptp process. With pppd(8) I don't think there is support for using a pipe to a separate process as a device. Perhaps there is another way to make pptp work with pppd. I don't know. npppd supports PPTP but I believe it's currently server-side only. One possible path forward would be PPTP-client support in npppd. I don't know if there are any plans for this and I don't have any such plans myself. Even though I'm still listed as maintainer of net/pptp I haven't used it in a long time. If net/pptp goes away I won't miss it.
