How about a compile-time option with BIG WARNING FLAGS so that ppp can be
run in client mode by non-superusers?

Here's my situation: I don't run ppp in server mode, so the only member of
group network is my own account.  And my machine isn't networked at the
moment (and when it is I could change the compilation option back).
