does the dynamips thingy know how to read the /dev side of a tap device?
if so then I think you can use the bridging facilities,
you should be able to use teh autobridge config settings..
look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for an example..
it shows tap/if examples..
man rc.conf
for more details..
remember don't change that file... put your changes in /etc/rc.conf
