What do you mean by how? IMO possible ansers: well, fast, using 
ng_ksockat and ng_l2tp nodes, alike PPTP, ... Choose any. :)

I have not used it in production, but think it's efficiency should be 
close to PPTP's one, as they are relatives. PPPoE is some more efficient 
by it's nature as it works on lower protocol layer - Ethernet instead of 
UDP.
