  That looks just like the error I got here when I recompiled the
  userland ppp with a fresh source-tree, but the kernel was old (kernel
  was from oct 26, the source-tree in question was of yesterday).
  
  I even tried recompiling only libnetgraph, because I knew recompiling
  kernel + world would take forever on my box, but that didn't help. I
  had to follow UPDATING instructions and install a newer kernel, then
  boot it up before installing world. That fixed the ppp problem for me.
