Userland ppp supports NATM.  It's not documented though I believe.  I 
worked it out by looking at the source code for the atm support.  I 
think it boils down to building a kernel with NATM and using the 
following device specification in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf:

set device PPPoA:<interface>:<vpi>.<vci>
