Well, for a wild shot-in-the-dark, you could try adding a third and 
forth argument to your ``set ifaddr'' line - both ``0'':

  set ifaddr x.x.x.x y.y.y.y 0 0

If this doesn't work, check out http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html.
It'll give you a feel for what to do to trouble-shoot.  Enabling LCP 
and IPCP logging should identify where things are going wrong.
