It doesn't connect and the errors provided in the log prove don't show me much content as to what is causing the problem. One thing strange is ppp is saying its using tun1, while below you can see its saying its using tun0 and erroring. Error log, ppp.conf and rc.conf are listed below.

I would suggest leaving out ifaddr.. It's not required. Also, it looks
like you have your PPPoE device wrong by the rc.conf values you listed.
Here's what works for me:

default:
 set device PPPoE:fxp0
 set speed sync
 set ctsrts off
 set mru 1492
 set mtu 1492
provider:
 set authname "name"
 set authkey "key"
 enable dns # this will enable pulling the dns from your provider and
sticking them in /etc/resolv.conf
 add default HISADDR

To dial with that I run 'ppp -ddial provider'. 
Hope it helps.
