I'm not, but if I were, I would add ipfw rules using ip-up in pppd, and 
do the accounting in ip-down.
I use ipfw for network IP accounting.  Define a particular rule number 
for a given accounting entity.

I have also written a program which does accounting based on IP 
addresses, by listening to bpf like tcpdump.  It does not require the 
prior definition of the IP addresses to be watched, the way ipfw does.
