The problem is that RPC needs to be run from port 20, and -alias
change the port numbers by default.  The latest version of
PPP+pktAlias handles this, and will likely be integrated in FreeBSD
-current reasonably soon.  Until then, download it from
http://www.srv.net/~cmott/

I don't remember whether I enabled the mapping of the port to the same
values as default; check the README.alias file.
