What it could be is that the ethernet card driver you are using for PPPoE does
not like being called without first being initialised.   Try adding something
like this to your /etc/rc.conf:

  ifconfig_fxp1="up"
  
And add the appropriate line for network_interfaces like:

  network_interfaces="fxp0 fxp1 lo0"

(of course substitute fxp1 for your network card and alter things to suit your
own machine).

Just a suggestion, but this worked for me.
