OK, so I configured /etc/hostname.pppoe0 as described in pppoe(4):
# The following line is all in one line

inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE pppoedev fxp0 authproto pap authname

'myUsername' authkey 'myPassword' up

dest 0.0.0.1

!/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1
and the corresponding ifconfig output is:
lo0: flags=8049 mtu 33224

    groups: lo

    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

    inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128

    inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5

rl0: flags=8802 mtu 1500

    lladdr 00:0a:cd:10:2b:c5

    media: Ethernet autoselect

    status: active

fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500

    lladdr 00:0d:61:03:77:63

    groups: egress

    media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)

    status: active

    inet6 fe80::20d:61ff:fe03:7763%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

    inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255

pflog0: flags=0<> mtu 33224

enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536

pppoe0: flags=8810 mtu 1492

    dev: fxp0 state: initial

    sid: 0x0 PADI retries: 0 PADR retries: 0

    groups: pppoe

    inet6 fe80::20a:cdff:fe10:2bc5%pppoe0 ->  prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6

    inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xffffffff
So I got rid of the nagging IPv6 message (nevermind what that was) but

I still can't manage to connect.
Amit.
