Hi,

I believe all the GENERIC kernels for the Mac port should have it enabled.
But there is an easy way to find out if your kernel has it enabled or not.

Type in 

   ifconfig -a

Here is what it looks like on mine:

-------
ratbert% ifconfig -a
sn0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
        address: 08:00:07:0c:97:23
        inet 202.233.42.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 202.233.42.255
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32768
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296
-------

If you see the ppp0 and ppp1, then you have two ppp ports available.
