FreeBSD doesn't have built-in support for that kind of GRE tunnel.
You'd have to write your own program to open a raw socket and read
and write packets to tun(4) or somesuch.
The ng_pptpgre(4) node is (as the name implies) designed for PPTP's
type of GRE. It could be used for 'generic' tunnelling between two
FreeBSD machines but this is probably incompatbile with the Linux
system.
