Yeah, I have userland ppp working as a client.  It was a mere

 mkdir /var/spool/lock

I have not tested it.  From my experience with OpenBSD I suggest to use
kernel ppp to connect to a fast DSL line.  On a slow box the userland
ppp is a severe bottleneck.  I have no idea whether this works on
kfreebsd.
