I don't know what version of FreeBSD you are using, but PPPoE has been available on FreeBSD for quite some time.
A quick search on Google with "PPPoE on FreeBSD" pulled up dozens of sites that show how-to's on PPPoE with FreeBSD.

Hello to all,
I'm using FreeBSD for almost 4 years and I will continue with it because I can't find better.
I subscribed to a ADSL connection in Portugal that supports only PPPoE (and not PPPoA).
Almost everyone in Portugal uses only 2 modems (supported by ISPs): Siemens Santis USB and Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 USB.
Linux people has already support to Alcatel USB modems with PPPoE connections and FreeBSD still lacks of PPPoE support.
I don't like Linux so, to solve my home network problem, I install a Windows machine to share the Internet (ooops!) across my LAN.
The new Speedtouch 1.2 beta2 driver (http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/index.php?/news.en.html),
already support Bridging 1483 mode (PPPoE support) in pppoa3 but without
use in FreeBSD.
Please read the following thread to see some solutions for implementing PPPoE in FreeBSD.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04514.html
For what you can see in this thread:
"...that task is simply a matter of two or three #ifdefs for each BSD flavor, but nobody seems volunteering to accomplish it."
I'm just a FreeBSD user not a programmer or hacker, so I can only help FreeBSD community asking you to try to implement PPPoE in FreeBSD so everyone uses it.
Thanks very much for your great work,
Nuno Teixeira

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?" -- Mike Godwin
Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
System Administration - It's a dirty job, but somebody said I had to do it.
