I don't know of anything published that does this, but it's easy to
write a perl or shell script that pings the router at the adsl isp
and does the necessary things when it disappears and reappears.  You
start it from /usr/local/etc/rc.d (Hint - use nohup to keep it running).

Without getting much fancier than is reasonable, existing connections
will be dropped at switchovers.

I have a script that does similar things running here; email me if you
want it.
