pppd(8) has not had any serious work done on it for over two years, see
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/pppd/main.c
There was some talk in -net of dropping support for it altogether.

The KPPP authors have so far declined to consider adding support for 
FreeBSD's ppp(8), due perhaps to their primarily Linux orientation.

I suggest instead using either ppp(8) - which is extensively supported 
by the FreeBSD Handbook and in the mailing lists - or the net/mpd5 port, 
which uses in-kernel netgraph modules.  Both support fetching upstream 
DNS addresses.  I happily used ppp(8) for 10 years, but now prefer mpd.

cheers, Ian
