Are you doing anything funny with ``hostname'' on your machine ? The only reports I've heard where ppp hangs at startup is when your ``hostname'' won't resolve (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html). If this isn't the problem, I'd appreciate if you could build ppp with -g and when it hangs, run ``gdb -p whatever'' and do a ``bt''.
