Just in case something in the kernel has gone screwy, I'd suggest rebooting to re-init the whole SNMP and network stack, and test it again. If it's still not working, then use snmpwalk on the interface tree and see what's there - is the interface completely absent, or are some items visible? It may be that e.g. using the IP address as identifier will work, though this may not be constant depending on your configuration. Do this with snmpwalk -c community hostname 1.3.6.1.2.1.2 Make sure you're on the latest MRTG (2.16.2 I think) and you've patched the OS up to date (though it could have been a recent patch that has affected the ppp handling of course). If all this fails, and you absolutely HAVE to graph this, then you could do a workaround by getting the data via another method - eg, NRPE agent and mrtg-nrpe, or a plugin script to the SNMP daemon and check_ucd, though this is a bit messy.
