I'd say this depend on a few things:
(A) How many patches to IIJ-PPP do we recieve?  If there are a lot of
these, removing #ifdefs might disrupt merging.  (Doesn't look like it from
the amount of commits, though.)
(B) Is IIJ-PPP actively developed anywhere outside FreeBSD?  See (A).
(PPP+pktAlias doesn't count - I'll merge any changes from -current)
(C) Is IIJ-PPP from FreeBSD actively used by non-FreeBSD people?  In this
case, we could pay them the courtesy of leaving it in.

If none of these factors give us trouble, I'd say we cut the #ifdef's -
they clutter the code.  However, the final choice is in Brian's hands - as
well as the responsibility for adding himself as maintainer in the Makefile
;-)
