No, if I remember correctly PPP is in generic kernel (both "tun" for 
user-level, and "ppp" for pppd").
If I'm wrong, then you can load module. Do this as "root" user:

# For kernel ppp (pppd):
kldload if_ppp

# For user level ppp:
kldload if_tun

Then read pppd(8) or ppp(8), if you dont know how to read manual pages, 
then run following command:

man man
