The kernel used to, and the code seems to still be around, but it may
not be used much any more.  There are netgraph nodes that you should be
able to build it out of as well.

I'd look at the manuals for netgraph's Ethernet nodes, and perhaps the
GIF source code.

But I'd *really* recommend you tunnel IP rather than ethernet if you
can.
