I put:

pass out quick on fxp1 proto gre from any to any keep state

This allowed the PPTP connection to establish, how ever trying to use  
apps
over that connection resulted in:

fxp1 (block all rule) b x.x.x.x -> 10.0.0.3 PR gre len 20 (53) (frag  
57516:33 at 552) IN bad NAT

By placing to rule:

pass in quick on fxp1 proto gre from any to any

and allowing frags everything started working properly, but allowing  
all gre traffic in doesn't seem
like a good idea.. Is there any way to make this work without putting  
static ip address rules or allowing
all traffic?

The redirect rule is supposed to redirect connections to CVS on the  
external interface to
10.0.0.2 on the internal lan, where the CVS server is actually running.
