I'll try...

As far as I know (never used user-mode PPP) you should just be
able to do "arp -s remote_ip local_ethernet_hwaddr pub"

If you still have problems, I'll be installing FreeBSD-current on a
mess-round machine here soon, I'll have a look and let you know what
I come up with...

Cheers,

Phil.
