Mpd can do PPP over any netgraph hook, so unless there's some particular
weirdness to the framing of PPP frames over ATM, it should more or less
just work... Quoting from ng_ppp(4):

    These device-independent hooks transmit and receive full PPP
    frames, which include the PPP protocol, address, control, and
    information fields, but no checksum or other link-specific fields.
