KPPP is just a KDE-based GUI wrapper around the OS provided PPP
functionality.  At a guess, the only reason it isn't available on
FreeBSD is that FreeBSD pppd uses different configuration syntax to
Linux, and no-one has yet written appropriate support.

However, it is perfectly possible to configure PPP on FreeBSD without
such aids.  As ever, the Handbook is your friend:
