Or you could use pkg_delete(1) instead of make uninstall. > Second of all, I use ppp to connect to the net.

There are two different implementations of PPP; kernel-supported PPP (aka pppd(8)) which uses that kernel config option, and user-mode ppp (aka ppp(8)). Unless you have specific reasons to use pppd (unlikely), use ppp(8): it's better maintained and more featureful.
