Yes. Been running that for >1 y+ on a 2.1.7., then 2.2 then 2.2.1 box:
...
set ifaddr A.B.C.D/24 234.234.234.10
add 0 0 234.234.234.10
... where 123.123.123.1/24 is really the class C/pool block
you're going to get your IP from (adjust mask appropriately),
for example if you get it from the class C 192.168.1.[1-254],
then use 192.168.1.1/24.
And 234.234.234.10 is the remote IP of the term server.
On first packet, ppp dials, gets the real address, kicks
out the old one, and sets up a default.
I've been doing this with 12-14 boxes in a school with
a "one-user" ISDN subscription to the ISP (FreeBSD+squid+
ppp).
