Then you should probably use pppd-ip-alloc and do some hacking to pppd - or
maybe something like the radius-aware pppd would already be able to do most of 
this.

I believe the best approach here is to do nothing to pptp - base everything
on the username and make pppd behave differently for different usernames,
either using an existing modification such as radius-aware or erpcd-aware
pppd or using a custom change of your own.
