Put /usr/games in their path ?

Yep. In /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/sysconfig if you're pre-2.2.2)
add tun0 to your network_interfaces variable and create
/etc/start_if.tun0 containing the following:
/usr/sbin/ppp -ddial myprovider
Read the documents on ppp for further details (-ddial makes a
permanent connection). You may wish to upgrade to the ppp on
http://www.freebsd.org/~brian. It has lots of improvements.
