Do you have an entry in your /etc/rc.conf?

Check under the section labled,
##############################################################
###  Network configuration sub-section  ######################
##############################################################

look for:

network_interfaces="tun0 lo0 ed0"

There are a few combinations possible, but you want to be sure that tun0
is on that line inside the quotes.

In addition, you need a line after that like this:

ifconfig_tun0=

save changes, reboot, and check ifconfig again. This worked for me.
