Thanks for your explanation. In the meantime I had created a kfreebsd
installation inside KVM (which has incredibly poor I/O performance for
whatever reason) and was able to build and install ppptd.

Which brought me to the next level: pptpd execs /usr/sbin/pppd but
kfreebsd doesn't have that. There's /usr/sbin/ppp provided by
freebsd-ppp but appearently it has a completely different interface so
it is not suitable as a drop-in replacement.

That again raises the question how pptpd is supposed to work at all
on FreeBSD, but before setting up a FreeBSD box asking here seems to
be the more promising approach.
