Of course the handbook details a nice way to do this that I hadn't found when I posted the original question. Summary: Once you have your tun interface working the following in /etc/rc.conf should do the trick: network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" # More if you need them. ifconfig_tun0= # Nothing here! Then create /etc/start_if.tun0 with: ppp [your startup options here] I was working from the pedantic ppp primer, so my start_if.tun0 is: ppp -auto -alias demand Worked like a charm for me.
