Note, with Netgraph you may use sppp via ng_sppp(4). Also it is not to 
hard to
implement a dual driver. But I sugest to not do that way, especialy if 
you want to
support multiple branches. I know how hard is that ;-).

If your implementation would work with sppp (via ng_sppp(4)) or you 
would need
smth additional from sppp(4) let me know.
