FreeBSD as for 3.x (3.0 or 3.1) contains PAM modules for Tacacs+ and Radius.
And at least Tacacs+ PAM module support only authentication (and doesn't
support authorization and accounting). Standart pppd from FreeBSD 3.x can
be compiled to use PAM (-DUSE_PAM), but I havn't tested how it work.

If someone interested to extend FreeBSD libtacplus and Tacacs+ PAM module to
support authorization and acounting pls mail me.
