Just run ppp over ssh either by using a forwarded TCP port, or by using ssh as a stream data transport. The only thing I haven't bothered to figure out is how to make user-mode PPP do the latter (i.e., for interoperation with kernel-mode pppd as found on other platforms), but I'm sure it can be done fairly easily.
