I dunno, I haven't picked up 4.1 yet. I recall when I upgraded to 3.0.3,
there was an "upgrade" script on the CDROM, but I didn't have much luck
with it, mostly because I didn't have enough free space on my disks for
the new install.

I assume that you've already got a command to start PPP? You can add a
startup script into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, call it something like S98ppp.init
The "S" at the beginning tells the init process to run this scripton
startup, passing it the string "start" as a parameter. The "98" determines
the order in which the scripts run; S98ppp.init would be run just before
S99local, and after everything else.
