There seems to be two ways to do it. One is explained in the handbook. Use lynx to read them because they are in html format. The one in the handbook assumes that you have a static connection. The other one assumes that you have the tun0 in your kernel which is a pseudo driver. The docs are in /etc/ppp. I forgot where the manual is. This one assumes you get either static or dynamic ip addresses. I haven't had much success with it. I put my question to the FreeBSD Org. If I get some one to resolve for me I will pass the info on to you. P.S. I'm at CSU-UCR. Perhaps we can get together and work this out.
