We have shared SVN on alioth, see
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/?op=log
In the case of ppp, the source is already included
in freebsd-utils source package ;-)
You could start with "apt-get get source freebsd-utils",
add your patch, alter debian/rules, ...
The r/w access to our SVN can be obtained by joining via
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/glibc-bsd/
