I'm going to try rp-pppoe from ports, since on Linux it's actually
quite helpful in full debug, but I'm surprised at how little BSD's ppp
tells me when logging is turned right up.

Any other suggestions?

ppp does not write much on the console. And that is probably a decision
made by the authors, since it is meant to be run mostly interactively.
You can see its logs in /var/log/ppp.log
