Have you tried investigating the netgraph subsystem, and
ng_ether(4) in particular, perhaps in connection with the
mpd-netgraph port?

I haven't done it myself, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't
use that combination to produce a PPPoE link.  It can do just
about anything else.

I do use mpd-netgraph to run an MS-PPTP VPN link to the office,
and it does that nicely.  Entirely different issue of course,
but I was most impressed with the ng framework when I read about
it.
