Hrm, are we still using pppoe-start?  I thought the new baselayout handled 
pppoe (and other ppp connections) just like normal connections:
1. Configure in /etc/conf.d/net
2. Symlink net.$IFACE to net.lo
3. Start/Stop/Query via /etc/init.d/net.$IFACE

I could be thinking about testing (since I run ~amd64) and this may not 
apply to stable, but have a look at /etc/conf.d/net.example and make sure 
your configuration is correct.

If you think it is correct, please provide the output of:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
and
grep -Ev '^[[:space:]]*(#|$)' /etc/conf.d/net
