Your hostname.pppoe0 is bad. See below:
[snip]
 
 $ cat /etc/hostname.pppoe0
 pppoedev em1
 !/sbin/ifconfig em1 up
 !/usr/sbin/spppcontrol \$if myauthproto=pap

there is no line continuation character at the end, so
the next line is passed to ifconfig as a new command.
either join the lines or use: 

  !/usr/sbin/spppcontrol \$if myauthproto=pap \

to connect the lines.

For debugging pppoe authentication, you can use
spppcontrol -v pppoe0 to check see the current auth settings,
and tcpdump to watch what credentials are being sent.

an example tcpdump command would be:

  tcpdump -nevX -s 1500 -i em1 no ip

I'm planning on implementing a OpenBSD all-in-one router/firewall/ 
PPPoE_client/VPN_server and have been having issues getting the in- 
kernel PPPoE to work which is the first thing I'm working on.  I've  
checked the pppoe(4) manpages but still haven't been able to get it  
to work.


Here's the message I get while booting up
--
ifconfig: pppoe0: phase established
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: bad value
add net default: gateway XXX.XXX.XXX.80
...
--

Obviously somethings wrong with myauthname.  Does the in-kernel pppoe  
have problems with long usernames?  or the % character?

then once boot-up is complete I keep getting these messages

--
Sep 30 21:36:10 hostname /bsd: pppoe0: pap failure
Sep 30 21:36:10 hostname /bsd: pppoe0: phase terminate
Sep 30 21:36:10 hostname /bsd: pppoe0: phase dead

and keeps repeating every 10~20 sec.
Here are my config files and ifconfig (I cut out irrelevant info)

some more info:

-using stable branch of 3.7
-obviously my ISP uses PPPoE for authentication
-I have 5 static IP addressses XXX.XXX.XXX.81~86
-gateway to ISP is XXX.XXX.XXX.80, broadcast XXX.XXX.XXX.87
-ftth internet connection

em1 is going to be used as the WAN port with static IP XXX.XXX.XXX.81
em2 is not setup yet but will act as a bridge between em1 for static IPs
em3 is not setup yet but will be NAT interface for internal LAN


I still have a lot to configure to get it to work well but I need to  
get PPPoE working first so I can at least connect to the net.  I have  
no clue as to why PPPoE is not working besides the possible  
myauthname problem.  Any suggestions/help will be appreciated.  I can  
post my dmesg if that would help.  Thanks.
