Basic steps are:

1) Install pptpclient from packages
2) Add a label to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf (see /usr/local/share/examples/pptpclient)
3) Run pptp <PPTP server> <PPP label>

It's not great but I was able to get it working.  There's no encryption,
and I had to reboot if the connection got interrupted for any reason.
