Hmmm.... Strange.....

I've got 4.8 doing what you want, except using an xl0 instead of a tun0 as the 
natd_interface because I get an ethernet port on my cable modem.

Do you have ifconfig_tun0 = "DHCP" or something simiar in your rc.conf, or 
does pppoe set things up differently? How is pppoe configured to start in 
your setup? Can we see a more complete rc.conf (you can remove any specific 
addresses or other incriminating evidance ;)

I can't say I have any experience with your problem - but hopefully we can 
shed some light on it.

Cheers.
