Unfortunately, it doesn't...

In which case this effort might be better spent porting the alias
stuff to divert(4) sockets, instead of a user-mode ppp daemon. Then
it will be more generally useful, since plenty of folks will probably
want to stick with ppp (instead of mpd).

I'd be happy to advise, though it shouldn't be too difficult.
