Another way to find such in FreeBSD:

% cd /usr/ports
% make search key=vpn
Port:   poptop-1.0.0
Path:   /usr/ports/net/poptop
Info:   Windows 9x compatible PPTP (VPN) server
Maint:  nsayer@freebsd.org
Index:  net
B-deps:
R-deps:

Port:   pptpclient-1.0.2
Path:   /usr/ports/net/pptpclient
Info:   PPTP client for establishing a VPN link with an NT server
Maint:  jdp@freebsd.org
Index:  net
B-deps:
R-deps:

Gets the same results when key=pptp.

I don't know any more about these ports than it says above. Neither
might operate as a server. Would suspect (based on its name) pptpclient
is only good for connecting to an NT server.
