Is there an alternate instead of ip? Perhaps I can hack it into the source. I would probably suggest using mpd (/usr/ports/net/mpd5) myself, its very well supported on freebsd and although it does way more than you need its pretty simple to setup, (the sample mpd.conf has an example pptp_client you can adapt.)
