I believe PPP uses a FIFO system (First In, First Out) so this is not possible.
What you could do though is use the IP Traffic shaper to create different
interfaces with different speeds. Kernel 2.2.x has this built-in and there is
also a patch for 2.0.xx kernels, see
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/shaper.txt.
